HALF-TIME
Half time | Japan 0-2 Qatar
A first half defined by two moments of absolute brightness.
41 minutes: Another real waste of a corner for Japan. Nothing wrong with the delivery of Shabasaki this time, but it's again a free head on the game.
35 minutes: Post!
Almost a third! Japan is too easily open and when it comes to Al Haidos around the back stick, it has very little angle to work, but shakes the outside of the amount.
34 minutes: For a moment, it seems that Takumi has room to shoot at the edge of Qatar's penalty area, but he faints immediately.
The intensity of the Qatari side has been remarkable.
30 min: Japan participated in four finals of the Asian Cup and won the lot. They have an hour to find a way back in this business.
GOAL!
27 minutes: another amazing!
This is quite remarkable as Hatem bends a magnificent effort in the top corner of every 25 meters. A mountain to climb for Japan!
GOAL! | Japan 0-2 Qatar | Abdulaziz Hatem 27 & # 39;
YELLOW CARD
19 minutes: Japan reacted well to the attack – this goal is really born of nothing. Qatar seems to have a sharp thought, sometimes too bright in the middle of the field.
The Japanese Gaku Shibasaki is the first to appear in the book, surprised by Afif before making it fall.
GOAL!
12 minutes: I'm sorry, but it's an absolutely outrageous goal.
This is a ninth tournament record for Almoez Ali and I promise you that he will not score a better in his life.
The center is poor and he has to control it in the air, back to the goal at 15 yards. With a second touch, he juggles with the balloon in the air, then with his third, hangs a bicycle kick in the lower corner. Sensational.
GOAL! | Japan 0-1 Qatar | Almoez Ali 12 & # 39;
7 minutes: Some early chances for Japan, but the first finds only the first and the second is perfectly eliminated at the back of the post.
3 minutes: You expect Japan to have a lot of control here, which will be a slightly different test than the one Qatar has been facing up to now. They control their games well and have not conceded a goal yet.
It's gone then. The teams are out and it's almost time of the show.
Qatar striker Almoez Ali, one of those whose eligibility has been questioned, is the top scorer in this year's competition with eight goals, the highest since Ali Daei in 1996.
Japan has a lot more success in this competition, having been a champion four times – more than any other team. The most recent of these victories took place in 2011.
This is the first time Qatar has qualified beyond the quarterfinals of this competition, a timely improvement to three and a half years of the World Cup.
