Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Germany and Japan has kicked off!
  • 5' - Hiroki Sakai has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 25 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Germany started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' - Shuichi Gonda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 30' - 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 Takumi Minamino suffering a number of foals already.
  • 33' - GOAL! Ilkay Gundogan scores on 33.
  • 38' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 38 minutes.
  • 43' - It’s high time Hansi Flick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 46' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takehiro Tomiyasu is hanging Takefusa Kubo on the field on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Goal! Kai Havertz scores his 85 goal in 458 matches.
  • 54' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 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. Takehiro Tomiyasu made 163 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 67' - The whistle greets Thomas Muller as he departs to be replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - The whistle greets Ao Tanaka as he departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - Ritsu Doan is replacing Ao Tanaka for the Japan side.
  • 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' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-2.
  • 79' - Another change for Germany made on 79 minute. Kai Havertz leaves to be changed by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - Sensational shot from Takuma Asano. Japan is back in the lead.
  • 88' - 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.
  • 90' - Time for substitution for Germany. Serge Gnabry is replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • With this win, Japan is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
