Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Japan kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 10' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 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' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - 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.
  • 43' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Takehiro Tomiyasu. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 49' - GOAL! Kai Havertz scores on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry
  • 54' - Shuichi Gonda has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 57' - Time for substitution for Japan. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 67' - Another change for Germany made on 67 minute. Thomas Muller leaves to be changed by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ritsu Doan is hanging Ao Tanaka on the field on 71 minute.
  • 72' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. 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' - What an equalizer from Ritsu Doan!
  • 79' - Another change for Germany made on 79 minute. Kai Havertz leaves to be changed by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - Sensational shot from Takuma Asano. Japan is back in the lead.
  • 88' - 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.
  • 90' - Time for substitution for Germany. Serge Gnabry is replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • Full Time. Japan beats Germany
