  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - Germany is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
