Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Germany and Japan is underway.
  • 5' - Ritsu Doan needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 11 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' - 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 Kai Havertz suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 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' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Japan winning 100% of all matches.
  • 30' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Manuel Neuer, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 33' - What a strike from Ilkay Gundogan! The score is 1-0.
  • 38' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jamal Musiala made 466 appearances and scored 41 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 43' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Germany needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 46' - Another change for Japan made on 46 minute. Takefusa Kubo leaves to be changed by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - Goal! Kai Havertz scores his 85 goal in 458 matches.
  • 54' - Shuichi Gonda has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 57' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 62 minutes.
  • 67' - The whistle greets Thomas Muller as he departs to be replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 71 minute.
  • 72' - The supporters are chanting for Ritsu Doan. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 72 minute.
  • 74' - Takumi Minamino has so much to prove this time. He replaces Hiroki Sakai on 74 minute.

  • 76' - Ritsu Doan with the second goal in the match!
  • 79' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Kai Havertz departs to be replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - Takuma Asano puts Japan on the lead.
  • 88' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
