Japan 0-0 Sweden
45’ – Now there’s a chance. Nakamura curls one goalwards off his right at the end of a neat passing move. Zetterstrom turns it around his post for a corner.
Doan’s inswinger is headed away.

43’ – It’s becoming so stop start. Bergvall clatters into Doan in clumsy fashion not far from the centre circle.

41’ – Jeers as Doan is called for a foul on Gudmundsson. It is very, very, very soft.

40’ – Sugawara, from distance, slides a slow shot on target. It is easy for Zetterstrom but that at least means Japan have registered a shot on target.

39’ – And now a change for Japan as Taniguchi comes on for Itakura, the captain who runs off so is presumably not injured.

37’ – That’s all for Hien. Bergvall comes on and that means Lindelof will shift back into defence.
Hien looks in absolute agony as he limps alongside the perimeter of the pitch and he has gone back down while waiting for a stretcher having decided the dugout or dressing room was too onerous a trip.

35’ – Sugawara flings in another cross. Hien goes down while stretching to intercept it and the defender looks in a reasonable amount of bother, enough to require medical attention.
