Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Germany and Japan has kicked off!
  • 5' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ilkay Gundogan made 357 appearances and scored 56 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Thomas Muller, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 33' - GOAL! Ilkay Gundogan scores on 33.
  • 38' - It looks surprising Germany does not make any changes. Antonio Rudiger has some obvious troubles when approaching 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 Ko Itakura suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' - Takehiro Tomiyasu is replacing Takefusa Kubo for the Japan side.
  • 49' - GOAL! Kai Havertz scores on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry
  • 54' - 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.
  • 57' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Yuto Nagatomo by Kaoru Mitoma on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 67' - Jonas Hofmann has so much to prove this time. He replaces Thomas Muller on 67 minute.
  • 71' - Time for substitution for Japan. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ao Tanaka by Ritsu Doan 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' - 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' - GOAL! Takuma Asano scores on 83.
  • 88' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 90' - Youssoufa Moukoko has so much to prove this time. He replaces Serge Gnabry on 90 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
