    Anon: 100% of the ball has to clear 100% of the line and I think 1% of the ball was in.

  4. Germany in big trouble

    Costa Rica 1-1 Germany

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer at Al Bayt Stadium

    Germany were simply too complacent in that first half and what a price they might be paying. Still time for things to turn in their favour but there's a real panic on in this stadium now.

  5. Costa Rica 1-1 Germany

    Antonio Rudiger spurns another chance for Germany.

    Kirrie: Another Costa Rica goal and Spain go out too

  7. Japan 2-1 Spain

    Japan are like a different team now - were they lulling Spain into a false sense of security? They actually look the most likely to score again at the moment.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Costa Rica 1-1 Germany

    Jamal Musiala so close to putting Germany back in front. The Bayern Munich youngster charges forward down the left and fires an effort across goal but sees it smash against the inside of the post thanks to a little touch from Keylor Navas.

  10. SUBSTITUTION

    Japan 2-1 Spain

    Japan make a change in attack as Takuma Asano, who scored the winner against Germany as a substitute last week, replaces Daizen Maeda.

  11. Japan 2-1 Spain

    Spain can't go out, surely?

    All it takes is another goal for Costa Rica...

  12. AS IT STANDS

    Germany fall to rock bottom, Costa Rica now only behind Spain on goal difference.

    Extraordinary.

    Chris: Delighted for Japan, but let's face it...that ball was well over the line.

    Josh: Ball was clearly out, all technology in the world and can’t get basic decisions like that right

  15. SUBSTITUTION

    Japan 2-1 Spain

    Spain react to falling behind as goalscorer Alvaro Morata is replaced by Marco Asensio while Nico Williams makes way for Ferran Torres.

    GOAL - Costa Rica 1-1 Germany

    Yeltsin Tejeda

    Would you believe it? Manuel Neuer can't hold Kendall Waston's effort and Yeltsin Tejeda is on hand to smash in the equaliser.

  17. SUBSTITUTION

    Costa Rica 0-1 Germany

    Niclas Fullkrug, Germany's hero against Spain, comes on for Ilkay Gundogan.

    Germany are now without both their two starting central midfielders.
