THE ESSENTIAL
Japan take on Costa Rica on Matchday 2 of Group E of the World Cup, at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium.
The kick-off is scheduled for 11 a.m. for this meeting broadcast on beIN Sports 1.
The Japanese come into this game from a strong position, after their incredible success against Germany in the opener.
A new victory today would already open the doors to the round of 16.
For their part, Keylor Navas and his partners will have to raise their heads after conceding a very severe 7-0 against Spain.
08h00: The stakes
Happy like the Japanese.
Magnificent winners of Germany in their first match in the competition, the "Blue Samurai" are now in a very good position in this group E which seemed inaccessible to them.
Their mission now: to beat a team in 36th below after taking seven against Spain to secure their place in the round of 16.
Apart from a decompression after their exploit, we do not see what could deprive them of it.
This will be the whole point of this match, where Costa Rica will still want to show that it is better than this monumental rouste cashed in the opening.
>> Because you won't find anything better than this exciting Japanese team to start your day, we expect you around 10:30 am to follow this match together...
