Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Japan gets underway.
  • 5' - 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 Kaoru Mitoma suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Takuma Asano, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 15' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 20' - Shuichi Gonda has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' - It’s high time Hansi Flick 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' - 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' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 43 minutes.

  • 57' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma on 57 minute.
