Japan vs Spain on Thursday evening in the final group stage encounter of an eventful World Cup for the Samurai Blue.
Hajime Moriyasu's side followed up their orbit-troubling upset against Germany with a surprise reverse against Costa Rica. Japan still sit second in Group E, one point behind Spain - the only unbeaten team in the group after their draw with Germany.
Japan could qualify with a point if Germany fail to defeat Costa Rica by two goals but a win would cement their spot in the last 16. Spain just need a point to go through.
At least two members of the German squad - Antonio Rudiger and David Raum - told their Spanish club-mates to do them a favour and beat Japan but a win would be beneficial for Spain as well, securing first place and a knockout tie against the runners-up of Group F.
Match Details:
- Location: Ar-Rayyan, Qatar
