Japan, the surprise winner of Group E, takes on Croatia, the surprise runner-up in 2018, in a round-of-16 match at the 2022 World Cup on Monday.
Japan finished first in Group E with six points, beating Germany and Spain and losing against Costa Rica.
Japan is in the round of 16 for the fourth time – it previously reached the knockout stage in 2002, 2010 and 2018.
Croatia finished second in Group F with five points, beating Canada and tying Morocco and Belgium. Croatian previously reached this stage in 1998 en route to finishing third.

As the ball was rolling on the end line by the Spain goal, Kaoru Mitoma got his boot on the ball, flicking it to teammate Ao Tanaka, who knocked the ball into the goal. After a lengthy video review, it was ruled a goal.
