FULL-TIME: NETHERLANDS 2-2 JAPAN
The Netherlands have never failed to win a World Cup game having taken the lead twice. That might be about to change, unless they can find a late winner...
Now it's the Netherlands who are throwing men forward as they look to take the lead for a third time this evening. Dumfries crosses deep again towards the back post, but Koopmeiners can't keep his header down and Japan have a goal-kick.
Dutch defender Van de Ven is shown a yellow card for a tactical foul on Junya Ito. It's Japan who look most likely to claim all three points at the minute.
There will be SIX minutes of added time at the end of the second half. Time for one more twist?
Ogawa does superbly well to rise above everyone at the corner and head the ball onto Kamada before it sails into the top right-hand corner.
