Honda tried to get the ball, but it was very difficult for him because the Italian defender was marking him very tightly. The ball failed to be received by Keisuke Honda properly. However, Misaki who was on the left, managed to receive the ball. He gave a hard shot towards the Italian goalpost. Unfortunately, the kick deviated from the goalpost.
In the 64th minute, Uchida went forward with the ball quickly. He did a body feint to run past Candreva. Uchida made a one-two with Isagi to get past De Rossi.
Another Pirlo tried to use a tackle to bring down Uchida, but the ball bounced off Kagawa's feet. Kagawa saw that Pirlo's tackle was not a foul, so he immediately brought the ball quickly into the italian defense area.
Kagawa provide the pass horizontally into the middle of the penalty box. Kazuki used his speed and good position to surpass Barzagli. Just as Kazuki was about to receive the ball, he saw the offside flag being raised by the linesman. The Japanese attack failed there.
