Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Khalifa International Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Germany and Japan.
  • 5' - Germany is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Germany that had 162 games and scored 27 goals.
  • 20' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - It looks like no one’s ball. Germany is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 33' - Goal! Ilkay Gundogan scores his 56 goal in 357 matches.
  • 38' - 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.
  • 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 Ritsu Doan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' - Another change for Japan made on 46 minute. Takefusa Kubo leaves to be changed by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - GOAL! Kai Havertz scores on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry
  • 54' - It looks surprising Germany does not make any changes. Nico Schlotterbeck has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 57' - Kaoru Mitoma is replacing Yuto Nagatomo for the Japan side.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 67' - Another change for Germany made on 67 minute. Thomas Muller leaves to be changed by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ao Tanaka by Ritsu Doan on 71 minute.
  • 72' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ao Tanaka by Ritsu Doan on 72 minute.
  • 74' - Takumi Minamino is replacing Hiroki Sakai for the Japan side.
  • 75' - Goal! Ritsu Doan scores his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 76' - Goal! Ritsu Doan scores his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 79' - Time for substitution for Germany. Kai Havertz is replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - Goal! Takuma Asano scores his 18 goal in 186 matches.
  • 88' - Takumi Minamino has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 90' - The supporters are chanting for Youssoufa Moukoko. He replaces Serge Gnabry on 90 minute.
  • With this win, Japan is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
