At the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup, Japan beat Spain and Germany to confirm its advance to the round of 16 and made various records.

Japan came from behind to win 2-1 in the first round of the World Cup group stage against Germany on the 23rd of last month, and also came from behind to win 2-1 in the third round against Spain on the 2nd.

According to sports statistics company Opta, Japan became the first team to come from behind to win both against Spain and Germany in a single tournament.

Austria has won both Spain and Germany at the 1978 Argentina World Cup, but Japan is the first country to win a come-from-behind victory for both countries.

In addition, Japan is the first Asian team to record a victory over Spain.

Japan's record does not stop here. Japan, which advanced to the top of Group E, was named the first Asian team to finish first in the group stage at the World Cup held outside its home country.

In addition, he won seven World Cup titles with his victory over Spain and won the title of the most wins in the World Cup finals for Asian countries.

Japan, which is in the "Group of Death" and has overturned its expectation that it will fail to advance to the round of 16, will play Croatia in the round of 16 on the 6th.
