Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Germany to score. At the same time, Japan does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 10' - Hiroki Sakai has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 25 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 25' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Japan winning 100% of all matches.
  • 30' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 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' - 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 Kaoru Mitoma suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Takefusa Kubo as he departs to be replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - Germany started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 54.
  • 57' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Yuto Nagatomo by Kaoru Mitoma on 57 minute.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 67' - Another substitution for Germany to replace Thomas Muller by Jonas Hofmann on 67 minute.
  • 71' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Ritsu Doan on 71 minute.
  • 72' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ao Tanaka departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 74' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Hiroki Sakai departs to be replaced by Takumi Minamino.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 75.
  • 76' - Goal! Ritsu Doan scores his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 79' - It is a substitution in Germany team. Kai Havertz is replaced by Niclas Fullkrug on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Goal! Takuma Asano scores his 18 goal in 186 matches.
  • 88' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 88 minutes.
  • 90' - The whistle greets Serge Gnabry as he departs to be replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko.
