Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Germany and Japan is underway.
  • 5' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 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' - 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' - Germany started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. David Raum has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 33' - GOAL! Ilkay Gundogan scores on 33.
  • 38' - Takefusa Kubo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals 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.
  • 46' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takehiro Tomiyasu is hanging Takefusa Kubo on the field on 46 minute.
  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Germany that had 162 games and scored 27 goals.
  • 57' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Yuto Nagatomo departs to be replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 67' - Time for substitution for Germany. Thomas Muller is replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Ritsu Doan on 71 minute.
  • 72' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Ritsu Doan on 72 minute.
  • 74' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Hiroki Sakai departs to be replaced by Takumi Minamino.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 75.
  • 76' - Goal! Ritsu Doan scores his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 79' - Germany manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Niclas Fullkrug is hanging Kai Havertz on the field on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Sensational shot from Takuma Asano. Japan is back in the lead.
  • 88' - 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 Daizen Maeda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' - Youssoufa Moukoko is replacing Serge Gnabry for the Germany side.
  • With this win, Japan is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
