In Group E, Japan did some unimaginable tasks, first, they beat Germany, and now they beat Spain. They’ve qualified for the FIFA World Cup Round of 16. And they’re going to the knockout stage as the Group E Champion, the same group has Germany, Spain, and Costa Rica.
Not just that, after beating Spain tonight they knocked out Germany from this tournament despite Germany’s 4-2 win over Costa Rica.
Even Japanese spectators were in disbelief, Japan made history by winning with the lowest possession figure ever, japan’s 17.7% vs Spain’s 83% possession, and by a 2-1 goal margin. They’ve successfully defended Germany and Spain.
Indeed a remarkable moment at Khalifa International Stadium and a historic triumph in their football journey. Japan will face Croatia on Monday.
