The game was due to kick off at 11am local time (3am BST) in Tokyo but met complaints due to the expected mid-day heat and will now be played at 9pm local time (1pm BST).
'It feels good that our desire for a later kick-off has been well received, and that we now how a match time that is better suited to the players in terms of the heat,' said
