Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Germany kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 10' - 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 Takuma Asano suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - David Raum needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 30' - Takumi Minamino has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 43' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 43 minutes.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Takehiro Tomiyasu. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 49' - GOAL! Kai Havertz scores on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry
  • 54' - 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.
  • 57' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma on 57 minute.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 67' - Jonas Hofmann has so much to prove this time. He replaces Thomas Muller on 67 minute.
  • 71' - Another change for Japan made on 71 minute. Ao Tanaka leaves to be changed by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ao Tanaka by Ritsu Doan on 72 minute.
  • 74' - Takumi Minamino is replacing Hiroki Sakai for the Japan side.
  • 75' - Goal! Ritsu Doan scores his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 76' - What an equalizer from Ritsu Doan!
  • 79' - It is a substitution in Germany team. Kai Havertz is replaced by Niclas Fullkrug on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Sensational shot from Takuma Asano. Japan is back in the lead.
  • 88' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 90' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Serge Gnabry departs to be replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
