On Thursday at Khalifa International Stadium, the last group match of the 2022 World Cup between Japan and Spain will determine who advances.
The Samurai Blues defeated Germany by a score of 2-1 to begin their campaign, but they fell to Costa Rica in their subsequent encounter. To guarantee a place in the round of 16, they must win in their last group.
Spain’s performance at the 2022 World Cup has been inconsistent. Prior to being held by Germany, they opened the tournament with a commanding 7-0 victory over Costa Rica. To advance to the next round, though, they only need to avoid losing to Japan.
