Coach Hajime Moriyasu pushed the students to flood the opponent's field from the very beginning. The fact that Ritsu Doan started from the beginning confirmed that Japan wanted to solve the match soon to avoid "a long night of dreams". But wanting is one thing, doing it or not is another. Costa Rica does not want to repeat the disaster they met on the opening day, losing to Spain 0-7 and so, they played with a "peace" mentality, similar to the way Mexico deployed the game against Argentina.

Costa Rica played the match but successfully took advantage of the rare opportunity to score the only goal of the match
This match, Costa Rica organized a siege from the Japanese yard. In the first half, Costa Rica fouled Japan nine times even before the ball had crossed the midfield line. Meanwhile, the 4 defenders chart, even though it has been tweaked to increase attack power, is still not enough to help Japan upgrade its firepower. If Japan is still struggling with the coordination on the border and then finds space to push the ball behind the defense for the striker to sneak down, Costa Rica organizes a deep formation, defends many blocks and is ready to kick hard, even even making an early mistake to destroy the Japanese system.
This suffocating game leads to a statistic that is not very good for the neutral audience. During the first half, neither team managed to get a shot on target, nor created a single shot inside the opponent's box!
After the break, Moriyasu changed his formation to a three-defence system - the key to their historic victory over Germany. Impatience was easy to see in Japan, when the entire Japanese squad flooded the Costa Rican field. The percentage of possession in the first 25 minutes of the second half was in favor of the Japanese (65%), and their number of shots was 7. The problem was, how much of Japan's attacking elite seemed to have been poured out. match against Germany. Out of Kamada, then Soma and Asano missed opportunities one after another.
Finally, the grim rule of "attacking without scoring must pay the price" was fulfilled in Japan. Costa Rica suffered the match, but in an almost unique opportunity in the 81st minute, they scored a goal more valuable than gold. Captain Fuller cleverly escaped the offside trap, calmly put the ball to the left foot and cut the heart, the ball passed Gonda's reach and flew into the net.
This was also the only goal of the match, helping Costa Rica return to the track, and for the Japanese, they made it difficult for themselves with this unacceptable defeat.
