Japan vs. Costa Rica, Highlights World Cup 2022, Match #3 Group E

This match of the day an unexpected crucial groupie showdown between Japan and Costa Rica. Jenny, Kelly, Carly, Alexi back with you. Well we've been talking about that pendulum swinging and how quickly. And there's the Japan side and they take a bit of a gamble here they're making five changes from the team that beat Germany. There are only two the giant defender former MLS defender Kendall Watson gets a start here. Or would be more or less through to the knockout stages if Germany lose tonight. And an opportunity and a save straight away. It was Morito who tried his luck and Navas who stretched into the save. That was more like it right at the start of the second half. Well clearly the halftime talk worked. So keep coming underneath the ball. You've seen this a few times in early matches. Soma good run. Not such a great shot. And what it's doing is it. Get on with it. Soma to hit it. Had the power. Couldn't keep it down. It's difficult to get the ball up and down. It's flicked on by Asano. And brought back there was Junya Ito. Was just outside the box. Big moment in the game. Calvo gets the card and he'll take that. It won't go down as a denial of a scoring of a low card. He got there to stop Junya Ito from going in on goal. As it is it's a free kick. Taken by Kamada. And into the wall. Back to Soma. The wall does its job. Trying to up the pace. But the tenacious Calvo's on the scene. But there might be something doing here. Soma to play it in. Look he had two players in blue shirts. Three towards the back. Nikitura. Soma kept it alive. Couldn't reach it. Behind for the corner. Almost fails Moses there it seems. Borja has started to flick it forward for Fuller. They can't create an opening though. Costa Rica. But a lot of men forward to Haider. Fuller scores for Costa Rica. And shakes up this World Cup group. Hazia Fuller with a shot goal for the Costa Ricans. And also goals in their final qualifier in Australia. Late 89th and 94th to advance to the World Cup. So don't count them out yet. Both from Mitoma who is out there wearing the number nine shirt. Hasn't got into it frankly. Not yet. Asano. This is promising Kamada to help it on. And they were looking for something but not getting it. Japan there as Minamino went down in the box. Hiroki Ito. Mitoma. Goes past Fuller. It's Mitoma. Amazing stuff. Look at that. Look at Washington celebrating with Navas. They're punching fists in there. Costa Rica somehow survived. They've been doing this all night Ian. Japanese penetrate deep in the box. Throwing their body on the line. Calvo. Navas. Duarte. Oviedo. Everyone. They can look forward to a very very different set of headlines tomorrow if they can hold on. If Mitoma for Japan skips again past Fuller. He can do this. He goes past Blaise. He's making things happen. Why didn't they start him you wonder? Costa Rica. The whistle goes. Redemption for Costa Rica. Rebound from Costa Rica from a 7-0 defeat. They win. They beat Japan who chucked Germany.
