France two years ago says they're stronger mentally physically we've got a striker Lukaku doesn't need so many chances to find the opposition's near strike rate has been superb here in these finals Lukaku and we've got so many players two-pointer amongst them and hazard and mertens to provide the opportunities for him he's a man who only took over as head coach of Japan in April we're posting

[Applause] and this is where Belgium will be a considerable threat set-pieces to have a significant height advantage against Japan fed in by de bruyne up company [Applause] but we under enough pressure to mean is volley rolls tamely wide the defensive work from Masako [Applause] [Music] Japan one of only two teams along with Mexico who have made the round of the last 16 from outside Europe

captain Makoto has a B of the starting eleven this one yellow card for missing a potential quarterfinal miss Lukaku space just about closed down at the last by Nagatomo he really had to make that because otherwise that shot from Lukaku was heading on target [Applause] but all the space he would have wanted there Romelu Lukaku at just a corner for Belgium it might have been more Kevin de Bruyne to take it [Applause] [Music] semblance of zonal marking going on here from Japan which might be a dangerous tactic with the taller more physically powerful Belgian players looking to get under this flight at corner played in Lowell deliberately by de poner and here's Vertonghen no pressure on in we get so caught that that is the case [Applause] company all the way round [Applause] again they look for with Kaku with that run down the channel it's been a little bit frustrated with the service there Romelu Lukaku [Applause] haha [Applause] Carrasco it in Hazzard again now fits all FinCEN company huzzah Witsel lovely poor to munier but an opportunity to slide that through for Lukaku Thomas Mooney a there's a chance that slipped away for Belgium [Applause] Vertonghen just beyond the

the World Cup quarter-finals [Applause] Lukaku good-looking bass it's a brilliant pass from Lukaku not quite a good with Japan give it away in vacum Belgium again no link up as art says that now that

from Belgium starting to reassert themselves again Georgie Kakarot what's great pass some Kagawa wire right to the extent of his penalty area there just to make sure that the fall was good to stay at home as he saw it able to or not needed to have used his feet it was a really good see from Kagawa newly brought reward for Japan [Applause] Carrasco da Karina Carrasco says nicely worked he touched though an inopportune moment from Therese mittens just found a pocket of space couldn't exploit it and away come Japan and they can counter and you really quickly in week it's gonna pass on here just get his head up [Applause] deploying us there quickly to rob Osaka just for a brief second or two there the Belgium was stretched [Applause] Shoji Belgium continue to carry the greater threat of an

munier [Applause] funnily enough even though Belgium come into this match as favourites none have got the better head-to-head record I've met five times previously in Japan have only lost once in one two it wasn't about concept you know from Carrasco the reach of munier you know carrasco's left-sided striker really but Roberto Martinez likes him in that left wing back position [Applause] company given away to shibasaki that's out though Rob's gaku shibasaki it's great work from hazard and that is going to be a yellow card [Applause] for gaku shibasaki the first yellow card of this game

coming Sekai really well to keep that in texting shadley chance to measure the cross company as their drops at the feet of Kakarot just can't link though with a Saco it's around this time that Kagura is normally substituted but Moschino not turning to his bench at the moment usually brings on Keisuke Honda for a final 20 minutes or so man has been involved in seven of Japan's last 10 World Cup

Oliveira [Applause] four shots on-target in the second half of all found the back of the net [Applause] all attempts to be strictly correct the Tongan head up to remarkable goal here's a grown-up when I settle for a corner was Fellini with a headed goal - and this is yet another threat to Japan - born with a corner kick company joins the crowd and he wins the head up and shibasaki happy to shuffle it behind [Applause] on surprise they took that short given the problems that causing to Japan with the crosses and the set-pieces deployment has a near the right mess of that here is a man I was just
