Stanley Amuzie (Nigeria) is penalised for tripping, a poor challenge. Clement Turpin, blowing his whistle for a foul, makes it clear he won't tolerate such behaviour. The referee gives a penalty to Japan!

This is a funny game. No defense for Nigeria, as usual. Less than 12 minutes, 4 goals!

14' A great teamplay by Nigeria as they control the ball with a lot of short passes. Patience is the key if they want to find a gap in the defence to score.

The problems with arrivals will cover all faults today. But we have no defensive midfield. Mikel is in the hole behind Umar.

24' Umar Sadiq (Nigeria) must think that he is playing volleyball after handling the ball and the referee blows the whistle.

23' Nigeria enjoy period of possession as they are exchanging some passes and waiting for an opportunity to strike.

22' Umar Sadiq (Nigeria) is on the ball and tries to beat his opponnent. He does it, but his run is stopped by referee Clement Turpin who sees an offensive foul.

20' Umar Sadiq (Nigeria) didn't manage to convert the resulting corner kick into a goal. He produced a header from a dangerous position inside the box, but his attempt went well wide of the right post.

20' John Obi Mikel (Nigeria) is heading toward the corner flag to execute the set piece.

32' Shoya Nakajima (Japan) makes a rough challenge and Clement Turpin blows his whistle for a foul. A free kick is given to Nigeria.

32' Shehu Abdullahi (Nigeria) has the ability to send the ball deep into the penalty area from throw-ins and it can lead to very promising situations for his team.

30' Muenfuh Sincere (Nigeria) slaloms his way past challenges, but an opposing player does well to get the ball away.

34' Nigeria hold the ball and display nice passing from player to player. Their movement didn't last so long as they lost the ball.

36' Oghenekaro Etebo (Nigeria) times his run too early, and the assistant referee raises his flag, offside. The opposition will take an indirect free kick.

I think we should start making Mikel stick to the defensive position. Not much from him from the number 10 position. Or is it the jet lag?
