Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Germany gets underway.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Takehiro Tomiyasu made 163 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 33' - What a strike from Ilkay Gundogan! The score is 1-0.
  • 38' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 43' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
