The referee has paused play for a hydration break! As it stands, the Opta predictor currently favours Japan as overwhelming favourites to win this game with an 86% chance.
21′
So far, Tunisia have created one opportunity, whereas Japan have registered four shots with one on target. It’s been one-way traffic at Estadio Monterrey!

That Tomiyasu chance in the 10th minute was so close to going in, that the referee had to wait for goal line technology to confirm whether the ball had crossed the line!

Tunisia win their first corner of the contest as Saad delivers it from the right-hand side, but Itakura does well to head the danger away. Better from the North African side!

After that early Japan spell, Tunisia seem a lot more settled on the ball now. However, they have it all to do if they are to continue their World Cup journey…

WHAT A SAVE! Tomiyasu thinks he has doubled his side’s lead, but his close-range effort at the near post is brilliantly clawed off the line by Dahmen! Replays show the former Arsenal defender was INCHES away from scoring his first goal of the tournament!
