Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Khalifa International Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Germany and Japan.
  • 5' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' - Germany started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ko Itakura made 275 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 30' - Germany is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - Thomas Muller needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 43' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.

  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 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' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Yuto Nagatomo departs to be replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - Germany 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.
  • 67' - The supporters are chanting for Jonas Hofmann. He replaces Thomas Muller on 67 minute.
  • 71' - The supporters are chanting for Ritsu Doan. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 71 minute.
  • 72' - The whistle greets Ao Tanaka as he 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 his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 76' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-2.
  • 79' - Niclas Fullkrug is replacing Kai Havertz for the Germany side.
  • 83' - Takuma Asano puts Japan on the lead.
