  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Germany is hosting Japan for another epic battle.
  • 5' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ilkay Gundogan made 357 appearances and scored 56 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' - It’s high time Hansi Flick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' - Germany is showing some good football. However, Germany are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 20' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' - 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.

  • 38' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 43' - 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 Yuto Nagatomo suffering a number of foals already.
