Live comments

  • 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' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kai Havertz made 458 appearances and scored 85 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Joshua Kimmich, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - Hiroki Sakai needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 38.
  • 43' - 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.
  • 46' - Another change for Japan made on 46 minute. Takefusa Kubo leaves to be changed by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - Goal! Kai Havertz scores his 85 goal in 458 matches.
  • 54' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 57' - Time for substitution for Japan. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 67' - Another change for Germany made on 67 minute. Thomas Muller leaves to be changed by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ritsu Doan is hanging Ao Tanaka on the field on 71 minute.
  • 72' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ao Tanaka departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 74' - Takumi Minamino has so much to prove this time. He replaces Hiroki Sakai on 74 minute.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 75.
  • 76' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 76.
  • 79' - Another substitution for Germany to replace Kai Havertz by Niclas Fullkrug on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Sensational shot from Takuma Asano. Japan is back in the lead.
  • 88' - 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 Daizen Maeda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' - It is a substitution in Germany team. Serge Gnabry is replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko on 90 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
