Right at the start of the second half, Japan equalized to 1-1 against.
Ritsu Doan's cannon shot could not be held by the Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simon and the ball went into the roof of the net.
Just a minute later, Japan took the lead when Ao Tanaka kneeled in to make it 2-1 after substitute Kaoru Mitoma saved the ball at the touchline.
At first it looked like the ball was barely over the line but after VAR review, some small part of the ball was in contact with the line, the goal was allowed.
It was 2.24 between the Japanese goals.
A minute after Germany took the lead against Costa Rica, Spain took the lead against Japan.
In the eleventh minute, Alvaro Morata headed in 1-0.
He went up strangely alone and got good speed on the ball with his forehead after César Azpilicueta's fine cross.
