Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at Khalifa International Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ritsu Doan made 264 appearances and scored 36 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Manuel Neuer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 33' - Goal! Ilkay Gundogan scores his 56 goal in 357 matches.
  • 38' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 43' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 46' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Takefusa Kubo departs to be replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - Goal! Kai Havertz scores his 85 goal in 458 matches.
  • 54' - Niklas Sule needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 57' - Kaoru Mitoma is replacing Yuto Nagatomo for the Japan side.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 67' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Thomas Muller departs to be replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - The supporters are chanting for Ritsu Doan. He replaces Ao Tanaka 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' - The supporters are chanting for Takumi Minamino. He replaces Hiroki Sakai on 74 minute.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-1.
  • 76' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 76.
  • 79' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Kai Havertz departs to be replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - Goal! Takuma Asano scores his 18 goal in 186 matches.
  • 88' - 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 Takumi Minamino suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' - Another substitution for Germany to replace Serge Gnabry by Youssoufa Moukoko on 90 minute.
  • Another three points for Japan.
