Japan 0:1 Costa Rica
Two teams that "didn't play their cards according to routine" brought a somewhat unexpected result, and the most boring half-time game since the start of this cup.
In the first round of the group stage, when the Japanese team was not favored, they defeated the favorite German team 2:1. Lost to Spain 0:7.
When the outside world generally believed that the Japanese team would be the winner of this campaign, the result was just the opposite.
This game can be called a "battle of life and death" for the Costa Rica team, and if they lose again, they may be out early.
If the Japanese team wins, it is expected to become the first team to advance to the "Group of Death".
But in the first half of this campaign, there was no sense of urgency or desire to win between the two teams, and both sides were slowly advancing in the test.
The two teams had a total of 5 shots (the Japanese team had 2 shots), none of which were on target, and there were only 5 touches in the opponent's penalty area in total.
In the second half, the Japanese team adjusted their lineup and the situation on the field improved, but they failed to score in several attacks.
In the 81st minute, the Japanese team made a mistake. Costa Rican player Fuller scored after stealing the ball, helping the team lead 1:0.
Then the Japanese team launched a massive counterattack, but they all fell short, and finally lost the game that had an advantage.
The loss of this campaign, the Japanese team ruined the good situation created after the first game, and also encountered completely different evaluations from the outside world. One of the best teams in the first round of the tournament became one of the most disappointing teams.
His coach Mori Yasuichi's formation and tactical arrangements have also been questioned, and a few days ago, these were Mori Yasuichi's "magic strokes."
On November 27, Beijing time, in the second round of Group F of the Qatar World Cup group match, the Belgian team played against Morocco.

Belgium 0:2 Morocco
Another big upset was born in this cup.
But compared to the Saudi team and the Japanese team that defeated the Argentine team and the German team successively, this upset is not too "cold" because there are already signs.
The first match of the group stage has sounded the alarm for the Belgian team.
Facing the Canadian team, which returned to the World Cup after a lapse of 36 years and ranked 40th in the world, the second runner-up in the world played a "weak team upset" feeling-only 9 shots in the game, less than the opponent (21 times) half, only seized one opportunity to "sneak attack" and succeeded.
If it weren't for the Canadian team missing a penalty kick and lack of experience and luck, the Belgian team would have been upset 4 days ago.
The Morocco team, ranked 22nd in the world, has the vast majority of players active in the European League and is known as the most European-style African team.
In the first game, they drew 0:0 with the last runner-up Croatia, which has shown their strength.
At the beginning of this campaign, the Belgian team led by the "golden generation" once had the advantage of the scene, but lacked threatening shots.
Before the end of the first half, Ziyech, the number one star of the Moroccan team, scored a free kick and was sentenced to offside first. The Belgian team escaped unharmed.
But what should come will come.
In the 73rd minute, the Moroccan team got another free kick. The 26-year-old striker Sabiri, who played for Serie A, scored directly again, and the Moroccan team led 1:0.
It was the first direct free-kick goal of the tournament.
In stoppage time, Morocco's "post-2000" youngster Abkhral pierced through the opponent's goal again, and the score was fixed at 2:0.
The defeat of the Belgian team proved once again: the "golden generation" is old, and the replacement of the "European Red Devils" is imperative.
At present, the Belgian team temporarily ranks third in the group. The favorite to win the championship before the game, what should be considered at present is how to qualify from the group.
