World Cup: Japan unexpected win over Azpilicueta’s Spain side

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar has witnessed some unexpected results so far some underdogs gave some surprise performances.

One of the unexpected results was the game between Japan and Spain on Thursday.

Japan, who shocked Germany in their past match staged another second-half comeback win against Spain with a 2-1 scoreline.

Spanish stars César Azpilicueta and Álvaro Morata recreated their Chelsea connection to give Spain the early lead, but Japan made a comeback after the break to win the deserved three points and also saw them topping their group.

In another report, Chelsea defender Azpilicueta was taken off at the half time during the game, which seemed to be for a tactical reason rather than injury-enforced.

Azpilicueta will now lead Spain to the round of 16 where they will face his Chelsea colleague Hakim Ziyech and Morocco, who also remain in the tournament.
