All four teams were through at one point on a dramatic night

Lukaku puts fist through dugout and consoled by Henry as Belgium out of World CupHOT WATER'Still my brother and I love him' - USA stars show class and comfort crying Iran starsAMBITIOUSPaul Scholes names player Man United could sign to replace Cristiano RonaldoTanaka’s goal was eventually awarded after a lengthy VAR check with Kaoru Mitoma, who laid the ball on a plate for Tanaka, only just keeping the ball in play when making the cross.

That goal propelled Japan to the top of Group E, with Spain in second ahead of Germany on goal difference. A double twist at the Al Bayt Stadium meant both Spain AND Germany were heading out of the tournament. Costa Rica got level through Yeltsin Tejeda on 58 minutes, before going ahead with a scrappy effort that last went in off Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer on 70 minutes.

Costa Rica’s joy was very short-lived as Kai Havertz got Hansi Flick’s side level three minutes later, which put Spain back in the top two.It was no good to Germany though as they had an inferior goal difference to Spain, despite another strike from Havertz and Niclas Fullkrug’s late goalAll the Germans could do was hope for a Spain equaliser as they had a superior goals scored record than Japan.

Souness goes full conspiracy theorist; claims 'something untoward' is going on at FIFA after Japan-SpainGraeme Souness tried his hand at being a conspiracy theorist after Japan's win over Spain as he thinks 'something untoward' is going on at FIFA. 'Everything that questions the establishment is a conspiracy theory'. I'll bet your lot are still double masking in the office Souness desperately needed to deflect from his absurd, gushing, half-time praise of Spain's midfield which promptly capitulated second half and lost the game.
