Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at Khalifa International Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - Germany started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 33' - What a strike from Ilkay Gundogan! The score is 1-0.
  • 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' - It looks surprising Germany does not make any changes. Ko Itakura has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Takefusa Kubo departs to be replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - GOAL! Kai Havertz scores on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry
  • 54' - 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.
  • 57' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma 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 Serge Gnabry suffering a number of foals already.
  • 67' - It is a substitution in Germany team. Thomas Muller is replaced by Jonas Hofmann on 67 minute.
  • 71' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ritsu Doan is hanging Ao Tanaka on the field on 71 minute.
  • 72' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ritsu Doan is hanging Ao Tanaka on the field on 72 minute.
  • 74' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Hiroki Sakai by Takumi Minamino on 74 minute.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 75.
  • 76' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-2.
  • 79' - Another substitution for Germany to replace Kai Havertz by Niclas Fullkrug on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Japan is taking the lead after the goal scored by Takuma Asano on 83.
  • 88' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 88 minutes.
  • 90' - The whistle greets Serge Gnabry as he departs to be replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • With this win, Japan is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
