Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Germany and Japan is underway.
  • 5' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Germany started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - 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.
  • 43' - Germany is showing some good football. However, Germany are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Takefusa Kubo as he departs to be replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - Goal! Kai Havertz scores his 85 goal in 458 matches.
  • 54' - 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 Takumi Minamino suffering a number of foals already.
  • 57' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kaoru Mitoma is hanging Yuto Nagatomo on the field on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 67' - Another substitution for Germany to replace Thomas Muller by Jonas Hofmann on 67 minute.
  • 71' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 71 minute.
  • 72' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 72 minute.
  • 74' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takumi Minamino is hanging Hiroki Sakai on the field on 74 minute.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-1.
  • 76' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 76.
  • 79' - The whistle greets Kai Havertz as he departs to be replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - Takuma Asano puts Japan on the lead.
  • 88' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 90' - Another substitution for Germany to replace Serge Gnabry by Youssoufa Moukoko on 90 minute.
  • The final score is 1-2.
