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' - 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' - 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.
  • 20' - It’s high time Hansi Flick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' - It looks like no one’s ball. Germany is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' - Kaoru Mitoma needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 33' - Germany is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ilkay Gundogan on 33.
  • 38' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 43' - Germany is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 46' - Takehiro Tomiyasu is replacing Takefusa Kubo for the Japan side.
  • 49' - GOAL! Kai Havertz scores on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry
  • 54' - 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 Antonio Rudiger suffering a number of foals already.
  • 57' - Another change for Japan made on 57 minute. Yuto Nagatomo leaves to be changed by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 76' - What an equalizer from Ritsu Doan!
  • 79' - The supporters are chanting for Niclas Fullkrug. He replaces Kai Havertz on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Sensational shot from Takuma Asano. Japan is back in the lead.
  • 88' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Niklas Sule has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 90' - Youssoufa Moukoko has so much to prove this time. He replaces Serge Gnabry on 90 minute.
