Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Costa Rica to score. At the same time, Germany does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Germany needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' - Goal! Serge Gnabry scores his 94 goal in 466 matches.
  • 15' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Niclas Fullkrug suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' - Costa Rica seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 25' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Costa Rica that had 7 games and scored 5 goals.
  • 30' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' - It looks surprising Costa Rica does not make any changes. Johan Venegas has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 45' - Germany looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Kai Havertz scoring 2 goals.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Costa Rica. Brandon Aguilera is replaced by Youstin Salas.
  • 51' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Thomas Muller made 466 appearances and scored 66 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 55' - Time for substitution for Germany. Ilkay Gundogan is replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 58' - Goal! Yeltsin Tejeda scores his 2 goal in 7 matches.
  • 59' - Goal! Yeltsin Tejeda scores his 2 goal in 7 matches.
  • 64' - It looks like no one’s ball. Germany is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 66' - The whistle greets Thomas Muller as he departs to be replaced by Kai Havertz.
  • 67' - The supporters are chanting for Kai Havertz. He replaces Thomas Muller on 67 minute.
