Two sides with vastly contrasting fortunes on matchday one of the 2022 World Cup go head-to-head at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium on Sunday.

Japan's 2-1 win over Germany came just a day after Saudi Arabia shocked Argentina into life in Group C, but Costa Rica's World Cup got off to the worst possible start - they were crushed 7-0 by a rampant Spain.

A win here could edge Japan towards an unlikely place in the round of 16, and they are overwhelming favourites to overcome a Costa Rica side who didn't even reach first gear against La Roja.

Here's how to watch their Group E clash on TV and live streaming platforms.
