Japan vs Croatia: Read the live updates of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 round of 16 match, JPN vs CRO, being played at the Al Janoub Stadium in Doha, Qatar.
Welcome to Sportstar’s live bog of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 round of 16 match between Japan and Croatia, being played at the Al Janoub Stadium in Doha, Qatar.
120 minutes of football plus injury time could not separate the two sides as Japan and Croatia stay locked at 1-1 at the end of extra time. This means that FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is set to have its first penalty shootout.
Juranovic takes a long throw-in, but Gonda makes a crucial interception to stop it and Japan goes on a counter attack. Endo, crosses into the Croatian box, Juranovic heads it to clear, and Mitoma runs in to intercept. However, Livakovic catches the ball.
Four white shirts keep Livakovic armed with enough cushion as Japan’s missed passes may just return to bite them, with the match increasingly looking to end as a draw and go into the penalty shootout.
