Live comments

  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Germany is hosting Japan for another epic battle.
  • 5' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Junya Ito, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - It looks like no one’s ball. Germany is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' - 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 Ilkay Gundogan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 33' - Germany is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ilkay Gundogan on 33.
  • 38' - Takehiro Tomiyasu needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 43' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Wataru Endo made 163 appearances and scored 24 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' - Another change for Japan made on 46 minute. Takefusa Kubo leaves to be changed by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - Goal! Kai Havertz scores his 85 goal in 458 matches.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 57' - The supporters are chanting for Kaoru Mitoma. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo on 57 minute.
  • 62' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
