Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Germany gets underway.
  • 5' - Germany is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Takuma Asano has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 33' - GOAL! Ilkay Gundogan scores on 33.
  • 38' - Daizen Maeda has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 43' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Takefusa Kubo by Takehiro Tomiyasu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Goal! Kai Havertz scores his 85 goal in 458 matches.
  • 54' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Japan winning 100% of all matches.
  • 57' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Yuto Nagatomo by Kaoru Mitoma on 57 minute.
  • 62' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Germany that had 162 games and scored 27 goals.
  • 67' - Another substitution for Germany to replace Thomas Muller by Jonas Hofmann on 67 minute.
  • 71' - The whistle greets Ao Tanaka as he departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - Another change for Japan made on 72 minute. Ao Tanaka leaves to be changed by Ritsu Doan.
  • 74' - The supporters are chanting for Takumi Minamino. He replaces Hiroki Sakai on 74 minute.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 75.
  • 76' - Goal! Ritsu Doan scores his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 79' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Kai Havertz departs to be replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - Sensational shot from Takuma Asano. Japan is back in the lead.
  • 88' - Japan 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.
  • 90' - Another substitution for Germany to replace Serge Gnabry by Youssoufa Moukoko on 90 minute.
  • With this win, Japan is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
