Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Germany gets underway.
  • 5' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' - Germany started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 30' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 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' - 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.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Takefusa Kubo by Takehiro Tomiyasu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - GOAL! Kai Havertz scores on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry
  • 54' - Yuto Nagatomo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 57' - Kaoru Mitoma has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo on 57 minute.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 67' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Thomas Muller departs to be replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - Another change for Japan made on 71 minute. Ao Tanaka leaves to be changed by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ao Tanaka departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 74' - Time for substitution for Japan. Hiroki Sakai is replaced by Takumi Minamino.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 75.
  • 76' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-2.
  • 79' - Another change for Germany made on 79 minute. Kai Havertz leaves to be changed by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - What a strike from Takuma Asano! The score is 2-3.
  • 88' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daichi Kamada made 163 appearances and scored 68 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 90' - Germany manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Youssoufa Moukoko is hanging Serge Gnabry on the field on 90 minute.
