FULL-TIME. That's that. A point apiece, probably fair, although both teams will think they could have won it. Japan had plenty of second-half chances, and they're top of the group...at least until later on today. Thanks for your company this afternoon.
90'+4
Hasebe's final captainly action for the day is bringing down Sadio Mane and getting booked.

GOAL! What a mix-up! The goalkeeper rushes out and reaches for clean air, Okazaki steps across the goalkeeper, and Honda slides that home!

Japan are shouting for a penalty after a corner - looks like a deflection rather than any kind of deliberate handball, though.

GOAL! And when it gets back into the box following a throw, Wague is running in at the far post to smash that home.

Wague loops in a cross from the right, and Mane has to chase it all the way across to the left wing.
69'
After a nonsensical amount of time discussing it, the free kick is taken. Touch - touch - straight to a Japan defender and booted away.

And that's a deserved booking.
