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' - 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.
  • 10' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Japan winning 100% of all matches.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 33' - Germany is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ilkay Gundogan on 33.
  • 38' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 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 Joshua Kimmich suffering a number of foals already.
  • 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' - Serge Gnabry has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 57' - Time for substitution for Japan. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - It looks like no one’s ball. Germany is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 67' - The supporters are chanting for Jonas Hofmann. He replaces Thomas Muller on 67 minute.
  • 71' - Ritsu Doan is replacing Ao Tanaka for the Japan side.
  • 72' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ao Tanaka departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 74' - Another change for Japan made on 74 minute. Hiroki Sakai leaves to be changed 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 has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kai Havertz on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Takuma Asano puts Japan on the lead.
  • 88' - It looks surprising Germany does not make any changes. Jamal Musiala has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 90' - Germany manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Youssoufa Moukoko is hanging Serge Gnabry on the field on 90 minute.
  • The final score is 1-2.
