Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Germany and Japan has kicked off!
  • 5' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Niklas Sule, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - Takehiro Tomiyasu needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 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' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - 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 Ritsu Doan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 43' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 46' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Takefusa Kubo departs to be replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu.

  • 54' - 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.
  • 57' - Another change for Japan made on 57 minute. Yuto Nagatomo leaves to be changed by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Maya Yoshida made 280 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 67' - Jonas Hofmann is replacing Thomas Muller for the Germany side.

  • 79' - Niclas Fullkrug has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kai Havertz on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Sensational shot from Takuma Asano. Japan is back in the lead.
