Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Khalifa International Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Germany and Japan.
  • 5' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - It looks like no one’s ball. Germany is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 33' - GOAL! Ilkay Gundogan scores on 33.
  • 38' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joshua Kimmich made 466 appearances and scored 25 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 43' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 43 minutes.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Takefusa Kubo as he departs to be replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - It’s high time Hansi Flick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 57' - The supporters are chanting for Kaoru Mitoma. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo on 57 minute.
  • 62' - 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 Takuma Asano suffering a number of foals already.
  • 67' - Time for substitution for Germany. Thomas Muller is replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - Time for substitution for Japan. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - The supporters are chanting for Ritsu Doan. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 72 minute.
  • 74' - The supporters are chanting for Takumi Minamino. 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' - Germany manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Niclas Fullkrug is hanging Kai Havertz on the field on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Goal! Takuma Asano scores his 18 goal in 186 matches.
  • 88' - Shuichi Gonda has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 90' - It is a substitution in Germany team. Serge Gnabry is replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko on 90 minute.
