Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Khalifa International Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Germany and Japan.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' - It looks like no one’s ball. Germany is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 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' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' - Germany is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ko Itakura made 275 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 43' - 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.
  • 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' - 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' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kaoru Mitoma is hanging Yuto Nagatomo on the field on 57 minute.
  • 62' - It looks surprising Germany does not make any changes. Niklas Sule has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 67' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Thomas Muller departs to be replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - Ritsu Doan is replacing Ao Tanaka for the Japan side.
  • 72' - Another change for Japan made on 72 minute. Ao Tanaka leaves to be changed by Ritsu Doan.
  • 74' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Hiroki Sakai is replaced by Takumi Minamino on 74 minute.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-1.
  • 76' - Ritsu Doan with the second goal in the match!
  • 79' - The whistle greets Kai Havertz as he departs to be replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - Goal! Takuma Asano scores his 18 goal in 186 matches.
  • 88' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 90' - The supporters are chanting for Youssoufa Moukoko. He replaces Serge Gnabry on 90 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
