00:00And on the whistle of Nicholas Walsh, away we go, the second match, an opportunity for them to venture forward
00:08for the first time, and it'll break away, and Nakamura sends it into the penalty area, trying to find a
00:13way to have it, and it's collected and sent forward by Junya Ito, into the penalty area with Mitoma, and
00:22Gaye's passed back.
00:27Anthony Gordon, a searing burst of pace, trying to get, can't be many decisions, Elliot Anderson conceding the free kick
00:37on Ayase Ueda, collected by Junya Ito, here he is, trying to combine, Rogers nearby.
00:49Support both left and right, looks for Rogers, board just gone out of play.
00:59Watanabe once more sent on its way by Doan, in Tultu, Croatia, but they beat Spain and Germany in the
01:06World Cup Finals in Qatar.
01:10Took a couple of whacks on Friday as well, didn't he?
01:15Dangerously floated in, Rogers challenging for it, tries, Ben White on the outside, good running, excellent play.
01:23What's the delivery like? Well, not good enough to find Phil Foden in the middle, but...
01:30Palmer's delivery, the header from Mark Gaye, blasted in as well, not once, but twice, three times.
01:36Two of those shots from Mark Gaye, Cobby Maynou now, not enough height on that one.
01:43Anthony Gordon's going to have a little run here.
01:48Decent ball in.
01:52Rogers making tracks.
01:57Anderson sends it in, the layoff from Rogers, picks out Palmer, and the pass just gets away from Gordon.
02:05Phil Foden.
02:12Watanabe going a little bit longer this time.
02:14He's away from Cobby Maynou.
02:16The pass is a good one too.
02:18This is Keito Nakamura.
02:20Nakamura across!
02:22And Kaurumi Tomah scores for Japan.
02:27A superb breakaway goal.
02:35The passing was...
02:39By the way, that's the first time Jordan Pickford has...
02:42O'Reilly.
02:43Will England be stung into life?
02:52Here's O'Reilly.
02:54Trying to lay it off to Ander.
02:56Ball just getting away from Mitoma.
02:58O'Reilly.
02:59Foden.
03:00Here's Gordon.
03:02To Morgan Rogers.
03:06Kamada's there.
03:08Rogers again.
03:13Setting up White.
03:16Gordon.
03:19Plenty back here for Japan.
03:22No way through at the moment for Cole Palmer.
03:27With his free kick.
03:33Come once more and it's Mitoma.
03:39Pressure for England.
03:41It's Kamada.
03:44Nakamura.
03:46Doesn't quite fall.
03:49Switch brings Junya Ito into the game.
03:53Watanabe keeps it alive and the shot.
03:56Back out to Maynou.
03:58Gordon collects.
04:00Back out with Elliot Anderson.
04:03That's the best we've seen from England by a long way in the...
04:07Anderson.
04:09Good ball.
04:11Into Ben White.
04:14Can't...
04:15Passed by Anderson into Palmer.
04:20Here's Anthony Gordon.
04:21Excellent running by Nico O'Reilly.
04:24Super play from O'Reilly.
04:25And Foden just...
04:26Didn't have the height there to really challenge Kamada.
04:31Gay's gonna leave it for Maynou.
04:41Tidy turn from Palmer but nowhere to go.
04:44Massed ranks of blue-shirted Japanese defenders.
04:47Foden trying to tiptoe his way through.
04:49Just catching.
04:50Sloppy and picked up here by Sano.
04:53Sano sending it forward and it's off the bar.
04:57Shot from...
04:59Shot from...
05:00Into his delivery.
05:04Never away.
05:05Doan.
05:06I didn't...
05:09Ripped in by Palmer.
05:24Excellent first half for Japan.
05:26England not so much.
05:28They've had two-thirds of the play and done very little with it.
05:31Caro mid-king lively in the early stages of this second half.
05:38Rodgers making tracks into the penalty area.
05:41It's with Anthony Gordon.
05:42Lies on at various points during the game.
05:44Here goes Ben White once more linking with Rodgers.
05:49Back with Gordon once more.
05:51Trying to get something going with O'Reilly.
06:02Almost delivery just hangs in here.
06:05Now Maynou.
06:08And Anthony Gordon.
06:11Sweeping pass to...
06:14Ritsu Doan who tries to whip it in at the near post.
06:17And Ayase Oueda says, well, why didn't you play it to me in the middle?
06:25Impressive attacking play from Japan.
06:27What's more?
06:29Didan away from Kamada.
06:31Chase here for White.
06:33Good defence to collect the ball.
06:38From Ito Doan.
06:40Lovely play.
06:43Maynou beaten to it.
06:44England a little bit stretched here.
06:46And it was slightly too high for Ayase Oueda.
06:52So, Nakamura is in behind Ben White here.
06:57And a big block there.
06:58Bobby Maynou.
07:02Gordon.
07:04Up against Ritsu Doan.
07:06Ben of England's last 18 goals have come from set plays.
07:10Before, before tonight.
07:13Tamer's delivery.
07:15And the header wide from Esri Konza.
07:19Forward off the boots of Hiroki Ito.
07:22And Oueda.
07:24Anderson.
07:26They're going to drive things from midfield.
07:28Rodgers.
07:34Rodgers collecting.
07:36And surging.
07:38And it's comfortable for Suzuki.
07:43...dispossessed.
07:44The clearance from Nakamura.
07:45Not great.
07:46Anderson.
07:48And down goes Rodgers.
07:49England free kick.
07:53Morgan Rodgers for England.
07:55He did try the same thing.
07:56And it didn't quite come off.
07:58Packing options.
08:00From Japan.
08:02And Nakamura tries to tee it up.
08:05And he isn't far wide.
08:07Japan.
08:12And it goes.
08:13Again tied it up by Japan's defence.
08:15And given away as Anderson surges into the box.
08:18Here's Solanke.
08:20Livramento.
08:22And England will have to settle for a corner.
08:26And it comes from Jared Bowen.
08:29Bowen trying to tee it up.
08:30Anderson's delivery to the far post.
08:32Solanke.
08:32Solanke back down.
08:34Rashford with the shot.
08:36Bowen on the turn.
08:38And stays at 1-0.
08:40From England in this match.
08:41A lot of wrestling at the moment as well.
08:43And Maguire tries to get on the end of it.
08:45And he has.
08:45And it's headed away off the line by Sugawara.
08:50Sent back in by Anderson.
08:52Bowen trying to get up.
08:53Today against Scotland.
08:54Can they make it a rare double here?
08:56And Maguire does get his head on it.
08:58Lewis Hall sent it in.
08:59And brings the save.
09:01From Suzuki.
09:03Rotanabe trying to get to grips with.
09:06Maguire the header.
09:08She ushed over the top of the bar from Rodgers.
09:13Last chance saloon really for Rink.
09:15Blank here in their final match at home.
09:17Before the World Cup finals in the United States.
09:20And that is exactly the scenario.
09:23And it's a landmark day for Japanese football.
09:26For Hajime Moriasu and his team.
09:29Kauru Mitomo's goal.
09:31Is the only goal of the match.
09:33And it means that Japan.
09:34For the very first time have beaten.
