I've recorded match stats from the recent Japan v Socceroos game in Japan. Stats might not be your thing, but they are becoming increasingly prevalent in world footbal.
Total defensive passes completed: Australia 182, Japan 181.
Defensive Pass Accuracy: Australia 92%, Japan 96%.
Total Attacking passes completed: Aus 116, Japan 207.
Attacking pass accuracy: Australia 82%, Japan 84%.
Full pitch total passes completed : Australia 339, Japan 435.
Full pitch passing accuracy : Australia 88%, Japan 89%.
Possession stats based on passing completion: Aus 44 %, Japan 56%.
Balls played into the Pen Box: Australia 8, Japan 40.
Balls played into the box on the ground: Australia 5, Japan 21.
Shots at goal: Australia 2, Japan 10.
Shots on target: Australia 1, Japan 2.
Keeper saves: Australia 1, Japan 0.
Keeper intercepts: Australia 7, Japan 2.
With the possession Ten had about 30% possession for Aus. I think anecdotally there may have been quite a few instances where Japanese players made some long runs when Running With The Ball /Dribbling.
It would have added to their possession.
Maybe they had some lengthy periods in possession in the defensive half where the Socceroos didn't Squeeze them as intensively? They had time on the ball as they were passing too.
The massive differential was that Japan had nearly double the passes completed as Aus in the attacking half.
Moreover, that Japan played 40 balls into the pen box compared to Aus's 8, is a really dominant performance.
The last two stats are significant factors that Japan dominated the game, and should have won.
