Japan manage to scale through despite defeat to Poland thanks to fair play decision and also to Columbia who beat Senegal by a lone goal.
It was a great game from both team but it was Poland who won the game, Poland has already been knocked out of the tournament but were playing for pride while Japan needed at least a draw to safely qualify for the next round but the game took a different turn as Poland want to take something out of the game despite already been knocked out and they got their goal in the second half and held on till the end.
Japan still managed to qualify with four points as Columbia beat Senegal and put Senegal in a difficult position, Japan progresses based on fair play decision.
It has been a great group stage matches so far as we now move to the next phase of the world cup.
Columbia will take on England while Japan takes on Belgium,it's gonna be a cracker and anything is possible.
