Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at Khalifa International Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Ilkay Gundogan, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 10' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Shuichi Gonda made 223 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 25' - Japan 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' - 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 Wataru Endo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 33' - What a strike from Ilkay Gundogan! The score is 1-0.
  • 38' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 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' - 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 on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry
  • 54' - Nico Schlotterbeck has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 26 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 57' - Time for substitution for Japan. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 62.
  • 67' - The whistle greets Thomas Muller as he departs to be replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - Time for substitution for Japan. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - Another change for Japan made on 72 minute. Ao Tanaka leaves to be changed by Ritsu Doan.
  • 74' - Time for substitution for Japan. Hiroki Sakai is replaced by Takumi Minamino.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-1.
  • 76' - What an equalizer from Ritsu Doan!
  • 79' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Kai Havertz departs to be replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - Sensational shot from Takuma Asano. Japan is back in the lead.
  • 88' - 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.
  • 90' - Another change for Germany made on 90 minute. Serge Gnabry leaves to be changed by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Japan players.
