  1. MISSED PENALTY - Japan 1-2 Croatiapublished at 17:41 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2022

    Marko Livaja

    Way too casual and he strikes the left-hand post. Could this be a reprieve for Japan?

    The keeper is making saves but they are two really poorly struck penalties from Japan.

    Somewhere in Zagreb they're building the statue of Dominik Livakovic already.

    GOAL - Japan 0-1 Croatiapublished at 17:38 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2022

    Nikola Vlasic

    Too much power and accuracy for the Japan goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda to get near that.

    Takumi Minamino

    Awful penalty from the former Liverpool midfielder Takumi Minamino. Low but a good three feet inside the right post and easily saved.

    Peter Schmeichel
    Former Manchester United goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I had the ability to clear my mind. I also didn't want any information for anyone. A penalty shootout is a lottery for goalkeepers. You don't have control over anything.

    The team who go first win exactly 50% of World Cup shootouts...

    Japan to go first.

  12. 'Should have gone straight to penalties'published at 17:36 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2022

    Japan 1-1 Croatia

    Alan Shearer
    Former England striker on BBC One

    Because of the short amount of time we have to play the World Cup in, it would have been sensible to go straight to penalties. we've just seen in that extra time that the quality wasn't there, not that there was a lot during the game anyway.

    They could have gone for another hour and nobody would have scored.

  13. 'What an opportunity'published at 17:35 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2022

    What an opportunity that was to win the game and send his team into the quarter final.

    They say there's always one chance and that was it from Majer. He just snatches at it and drags it past that near post.
