Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Japan kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Wataru Endo, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - Ritsu Doan needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 30' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 33' - What a strike from Ilkay Gundogan! The score is 1-0.
  • 38' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 49' - GOAL! Kai Havertz scores on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry

  • 57' - Kaoru Mitoma has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo on 57 minute.
  • 62' - 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.
