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' - Antonio Rudiger has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 10' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - It looks like no one’s ball. Germany is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 33' - Germany is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ilkay Gundogan on 33.
  • 38' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Germany needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 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 Takehiro Tomiyasu 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' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 57' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Yuto Nagatomo departs to be replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 67' - Jonas Hofmann is replacing Thomas Muller for the Germany side.
  • 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' - The supporters are chanting for Takumi Minamino. He replaces Hiroki Sakai on 74 minute.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 75.
  • 76' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-2.
  • 79' - Another substitution for Germany to replace Kai Havertz by Niclas Fullkrug on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Japan is taking the lead after the goal scored by Takuma Asano on 83.
  • 88' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 88 minutes.
  • 90' - Germany manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Youssoufa Moukoko is hanging Serge Gnabry on the field on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Japan players.
