The Croats tried to use their height advantage over the Japanese by sending dangerous crosses, but a few good headers by Prso and his teammates either went wide or were caught by Kawaguchi.
Hrvatska je pokušala da iskoristi visinsku prednost nad Japancima opasnim centaršutevima, ali je nekoliko dobrih udaraca glavom Prše i njegovih saigrača završio ili pored gola, ili ih je uhvatio Kavaguči.
