Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Khalifa International Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Germany and Japan.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - 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 Thomas Muller suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' - Jamal Musiala has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Shuichi Gonda, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 43' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Takehiro Tomiyasu. He replaces Takefusa Kubo 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' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 67' - The supporters are chanting for Jonas Hofmann. He replaces Thomas Muller on 67 minute.
  • 71' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Ritsu Doan on 71 minute.
