ROSTOV DEL DON, Russia (AP) – Belgium has been top in creating opportunities, but very little up here during a soporific match that ties 0-0 with Japan Monday, after the first 45 minutes, in the eighth finals of the World Cup
No option was clearer than the one that was missing the Japanese Yuya Osako just before the end of the first part: he could not control a ball when he was alone in the small area, the rebound was to overtake goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who reacted with problems
Japan started with a clear offensive intention and approached for the first time just a minute later from Shinji Kagawa's shot just off the goal. The Japanese gale lasted about 15 minutes until Belgium decided to take possession of the balloon.
Through the intermediary of Kevin de Bruyne and Captain Eden Hazard, the Red Devils gave the ferryman Romelu Lukaku, who could not be shown the door of Eiji Kawashima
The winner of this meeting is measured next Friday in Brazil in Kazan, by the quarterfinals, an instance to which Japan has never arrived.
