It means Spain and Japan meet in their final game both demanding results to ensure they progress.  Spain goes into their final match with four points, while Japan has three having hurt a shock defeat to Costa Rica. Japan needs to win, or a draw will suffice provided Costa Rica loses and they better the goal change of Germany.

Team news 

There appears to be greater anxiety on the Spanish side of this equation after teenage star Gavi sat out the exercise on Monday, a day after the draw with Germany.  Gavi is nursing a minor injury picked up in the 1-1 draw on Sunday and the 18-year-old midfielder was taken off in the 66th minute, shortly after Spain took a 1-0 lead.  He’s been a breath of fresh air for Spain in the inaugural two games alongside Pedri so losing him for a conclusive final group game would be a blow for boss Luis Enrique. Football fans can Japan Vs Spain Tickets from our website.
