Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at Khalifa International Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - It’s high time Hansi Flick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 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' - Germany started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 33' - GOAL! Ilkay Gundogan scores on 33.
  • 38' - 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.
  • 43' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Nico Schlotterbeck has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Takefusa Kubo departs to be replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - Goal! Kai Havertz scores his 85 goal in 458 matches.
  • 54' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 57' - Time for substitution for Japan. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 67' - It is a substitution in Germany team. Thomas Muller is replaced by Jonas Hofmann on 67 minute.
  • 71' - The supporters are chanting for Ritsu Doan. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 71 minute.
  • 72' - The supporters are chanting for Ritsu Doan. 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 his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 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 travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 90' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Serge Gnabry departs to be replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • With this win, Japan is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
