Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Germany and Japan is underway.
  • 5' - 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 Ao Tanaka suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' - Kai Havertz needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 29 Yellow cards this season.
  • 20' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Niklas Sule, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 33' - Goal! Ilkay Gundogan scores his 56 goal in 357 matches.
  • 38' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 38 minutes.
  • 43' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Japan. Takefusa Kubo is replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - Goal! Kai Havertz scores his 85 goal in 458 matches.
  • 54' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ritsu Doan made 264 appearances and scored 36 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 57' - Kaoru Mitoma has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo 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.
