Spain and Japan play for a place in the last 16 of the World Cup today night in a game that could see one or both sides qualify for the knockout stages from Group E.
Spain lead the group with four points from their first two matches, while Japan have three points after following their shock win over Germany with an even more surprising defeat to Costa Rica.
Spain will qualify with a draw, which could also be enough for Japan if Germany draw with Costa Rica. Meanwhile, a win would see Hajime Moriyasu’s men into the next stage as group winners, with Spain’s goal difference still good enough for them to qualify in second place.
