GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! ITO MAKES IT 3-0 TO JAPAN!!! Tomiyasu’s pass to Ueda is flicked into the path of the lively Ito, who holds off the challenge of Ben Hmida before rolling a finish into the bottom-right corner! The Japan supporters are going WILD!

Hannibal has seen a lot more of the ball in the second half, but the midfielder’s passing has been of poor quality. He tries to find Gharbi in the Japan half, but it’s easily intercepted by Ito!
Another change for Tunisia sees Tounekti replaced by Chaouat. It’s been a poor showing from Tounekti, who failed to have a shot on goal, and only touched the ball 16 times, completing nine passes.
63′
Hannibal is penalised for bringing down Sano on the halfway line. The Burnley midfielder does not seem happy with that decision, but he needs to be careful that he does not end up talking his way into the referee’s notebook!
61′
This is the 11th time an Asian side has scored two goals against an African nation at the World Cup. However, an Asian team has yet to score three times in a World Cup match against an African team.
