Description

The two teams had met in one previous match, in the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup group stage, won by Japan 1–0.

Greece was reduced to ten men in the first half when Kostas Katsouranis was booked twice in eleven minutes. In the second half, Greece had a Theofanis Gekas header saved, while Japan, which needed at least a point to stay alive in the competition, had chances to score through Yoshito Okubo and Atsuto Uchida, but the game finished goalless. The result ensured Colombia's qualification to the knockout stage, their first since 1990.

This was the first clean sheet kept by Greece in World Cup history.
