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 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.
  • 10' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nico Schlotterbeck made 416 appearances and scored 16 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 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' - Goal! Ilkay Gundogan scores his 56 goal in 357 matches.
  • 38' - Germany is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 43' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 46' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Takefusa Kubo departs to be replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - GOAL! Kai Havertz scores on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry
  • 54' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 57' - The whistle greets Yuto Nagatomo as he departs to be replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Manuel Neuer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 67' - The whistle greets Thomas Muller as he departs to be replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ao Tanaka departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - Another change for Japan made on 72 minute. Ao Tanaka leaves to be changed by Ritsu Doan.
  • 74' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Hiroki Sakai departs to be replaced by Takumi Minamino.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-1.
  • 76' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 76.
  • 79' - The supporters are chanting for Niclas Fullkrug. He replaces Kai Havertz on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Sensational shot from Takuma Asano. Japan is back in the lead.
  • 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 Junya Ito suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' - Youssoufa Moukoko has so much to prove this time. He replaces Serge Gnabry on 90 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
