After that goal, Ukraine lowered the tempo a little bit, going back to their very first approach in this game. It seemed that they were quite satisfied with a draw before entering the break, so they didn't intend to push too far and got bitten back by Japan's side in the last five minutes of this first half.
Japan also didn't go berserk after conceding that goal. No, they tried to stabilize the game first, knowing full well that with only 2 minutes before the game ended, there was not a lot of things they could do right now. No, it was better to finish this eventful first half steadily, and then ask the coach what to do in the second half.
FWEEE! FWEEE! FWEEE!
In the end, the referee finally blew the whistle three times in a row, ending the first half with a draw. The players from both teams also went into the locker room as quickly as possible, having so many things on their minds right now.
