Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Germany and Japan is underway.
  • 5' - Kai Havertz needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 29 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Ilkay Gundogan, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - Hiroki Sakai has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 25 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' - It’s high time Hansi Flick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 33' - Germany is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ilkay Gundogan on 33.
  • 38' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 43' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 46' - Takehiro Tomiyasu is replacing Takefusa Kubo for the Japan side.
  • 49' - GOAL! Kai Havertz scores on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry
  • 54' - 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.
  • 57' - The whistle greets Yuto Nagatomo as he departs to be replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 67' - Jonas Hofmann has so much to prove this time. He replaces Thomas Muller on 67 minute.
  • 71' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 71 minute.
  • 72' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 72 minute.
  • 74' - Time for substitution for Japan. Hiroki Sakai is replaced by Takumi Minamino.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-1.
  • 76' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 76.
  • 79' - Niclas Fullkrug is replacing Kai Havertz for the Germany side.
  • 83' - What a strike from Takuma Asano! The score is 2-3.
  • 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 Takehiro Tomiyasu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' - The supporters are chanting for Youssoufa Moukoko. He replaces Serge Gnabry on 90 minute.
  • Another three points for Japan.
