Kosovare Asllani takes a tumble after a late challenge from Moeka Minami.

The Sweden captain is back up on her feet and ready to take the free-kick.

It's delivered into the Japan box, but Futoshi Ikeda's side deal with it well and get the clearance straight away.

Japan have been so efficient. Often conceding possession but their end product is phenomenal.

Japan start brightly and earn a corner straight away.

They play it short and it comes to nothing.

Here we go.

The second quarter-final is under way and Japan get us started.

A big night for Kosovare Asllani and not just because the highly experienced midfielder leads Sweden out at a World Cup quarter-final.

Having picked up a yellow card in the last game against the USA, Asllani will miss the semi-final - should Sweden get through - if she picks up another booking.

Japan have come here and shown so many styles to their play that nobody predicted.

I think they're going to go all the way.

Whether they do or they don't, today will be the toughest test for them.

Eden Park looks magnificent. The scene is set for the second quarter-final of this World Cup. Are we going to see another tie go to extra-time?

Sweden are so unapologetic about their style. They are here to win, they're not here to please everyone with fancy football, this is what they've come to a World Cup for.

They're efficient in what they do, that's what their game plan is and they're going to stick to it.

Nine of the 22 starting this quarter-final play in the Women's Super League. Japan's starting XI includes West Ham defender Risa Shimizu, Liverpool midfielder Fuka Nagano and Manchester City midfielder Yui Hasegawa.

Sweden's team features Chelsea keeper Zecira Musovic, Arsenal duo Stina Blackstenius and Amanda Ilestedt, Everton defender Nathalie Bjorn, Manchester City midfielder Filippa Angeldahl and Chelsea midfielder Johanna Rytting Kaneryd.

Meanwhile, Japan had a more straightforward last-16 tie, winning 3-1 against Norway.

That's the thing with this Japan team now where they look complete. In the past, that has been their weak link. They've got all the build up play, that style, we all know how technical they are but there was never that cutting edge in front of goal

With Hinata Miyazawa in their team, five goals from six attempts on target. That just shows how efficient she is.

Another day, another game - more goals for Hinata Miyazawa?

The Japan forward is currently leading the race for the Golden Boot award with five goals.

Her closest rival - France's Kadidiatou Diani - is on four, but she could make up ground quickly with three assists compared to Miyazawa's one.

Sweden centre-back Amanda Ilestedt isn't too far behind either. She's got three goals to her name, so another one today would bring her within touching distance.

Magdalena Eriksson says it would be wrong of Sweden to single out Japan's Hinata Miyazawa in their quarter-final tie.

Miyazawa is the tournament's leading scorer with five goals.

"I think that the whole team is a threat," said former Chelsea defender Eriksson.

"Instead of focusing on one player on this Japanese team, I think it's important to look at their whole team."

Miyazawa's five goals have come from just six attempts on target by the midfielder, who plays in Japan for Mynavi Sendai.

"The most impressive thing about the Japanese team is that it doesn't really matter who is on the end of their attacks," added Eriksson, who recently joined Bayern Munich from Chelsea.

"They are all in sync and have such a clear style of play."

This Japan team has everything. They can score from wide areas, they can score from deep, they can run through teams, they can go direct.

They are good with the ball but they also showed against Spain that they can play without the ball too.

Spain absolutely dominated possession in that game, but it was Japan that went on to win it by five goals.

The players are out on the pitch at Eden Park, warming up for what will hopefully be an epic World Cup quarter-final tie.

Just 15 minutes to go until kick-off.

Here's how Sweden sealed their place in the quarter-finals by a millimetre.

What drama will we see unfold today?

Fara Williams
Former England midfielder on BBC One

I think Sweden can cause Japan some problems if they stick to their strengths.

If they stick to those wide areas they could potentially cause problems for this Japan team with problems into the box.

But they haven’t performed to their best level yet. They didn’t in the Euros either, not to the level that I think their squad should do.”

Lina Hurtig, who scored the decisive penalty by the finest of margins to eliminate four-time world champions USA, says she will consider getting a tattoo of her goal if Sweden win the Women's World Cup.

The Arsenal winger came off the bench in the 81st minute of the last-16 clash and got her moment of glory in a wild shootout.

American keeper Alyssa Naeher got both hands to Hurtig’s penalty but the ball made it over the line by a matter of millimetres, with a Fifa VAR image showing it was a shade over the line quickly going viral.

"That picture afterwards, it was so crazy. It’s so crazy that we went through on that [penalty]," said Hurtig.

"The [VAR] picture I’ve seen a lot, the penalty not so much. I don’t want to see it again, I get a little pain in my stomach actually, there’s so many feelings that come up when I see it.

"I’ve said that we have to beat Japan now, otherwise it’s all for nothing. But if we win gold it’s not impossible."

We're a long way from Anfield and Goodison Park but we've got ourselves a mini Merseyside derby all the way over here in Auckland.

While Liverpool's Fuka Nagano lines up in Japan's midfield, Sweden's defence includes Everton's Nathalie Bjorn.

Meanwhile, Manchester City team-mates Yui Hasegawa and Filippa Angeldahl are on opposing sides. This is going to be tasty.

Well, what's it going to be? A Spain v Japan semi-final re-match? Or can Sweden knock the 2011 world champions out?
