The match ends in Germany. A good game for both teams, although neither side has managed to score. Japan 0-0 Ecuador

We reached the 90th minute. We will go to the 93rd minute.

What a save, again, from the Japanese goalkeeper. Valencia headed and the ball went off the line, but Schmidt ducked his fingers to save his team.

Schmidt made the save. What a save by the Japanese goalkeeper. Valencia took a shot to his right and guessed right to keep the score level at 0-0.

Ecuador had a chance from eleven yards for Ecuador. The referee pointed out the penalty. Valencia will take it...

The Japanese have had it doubly. First, Doan, and then Kamada. Both shots were stopped by Galindez.

Ecuador's No. 5 once again took another shot from the edge of the area. This time, the shot went over the goal. The match is still goalless 

Now, Japan pressed. Minamino shot, inside the area, but the shot was not on target. Galíndez will kick out of the goal

The last 45 minutes start in Germany. The match is still tied but if it continues at the same pace as the first half we will start to see goals. 

Ecuador had the last chance, but it hit the post. Great game, so far, from both teams but the goals do not come. 0-0 draw

What a mistake Ecuador made at the exit of the ball. Furuhashi took the defender's clearance and shot. The shot is easily saved by the goalkeeper.

Another chance for the tricolor. Cifuentes shot from the half moon and the goalkeeper sends the ball for a corner. 

Good chance for Ecuador. Castillo came in like a bullet down the right side and assisted Estrada but he was offside.

Japan is in control of the ball but Alfaro's team is doing a good job defensively and is only pushing them back. The score is still 0-0

Both teams wanted possession of the ball. Both have approached the opponent's goal but without any clear chances.

First yellow card of the match. Castillo, Ecuador's right back, is shown the yellow card.
