Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at Khalifa International Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - Germany started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - 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 Joshua Kimmich suffering a number of foals already.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Daichi Kamada, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 43' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Takehiro Tomiyasu. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Goal! Kai Havertz scores his 85 goal in 458 matches.
  • 54' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Takumi Minamino has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 57' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma on 57 minute.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 67' - Another substitution for Germany to replace Thomas Muller by Jonas Hofmann on 67 minute.
  • 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' - The supporters are chanting for Takumi Minamino. He replaces Hiroki Sakai on 74 minute.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 75.
  • 76' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-2.
  • 79' - Another substitution for Germany to replace Kai Havertz by Niclas Fullkrug on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Sensational shot from Takuma Asano. Japan is back in the lead.
  • 88' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 88 minutes.
  • 90' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Serge Gnabry departs to be replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Germany.
