Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Germany to score. At the same time, Japan does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 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' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Germany needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' - 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 Hiroki Sakai suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - Germany is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 43' - Yuto Nagatomo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Takehiro Tomiyasu. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 57' - Kaoru Mitoma has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo on 57 minute.
  • 62' - It’s high time Hansi Flick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 67' - The supporters are chanting for Jonas Hofmann. He replaces Thomas Muller on 67 minute.
  • 71' - Another change for Japan made on 71 minute. Ao Tanaka leaves to be changed by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - Another change for Japan made on 72 minute. Ao Tanaka leaves to be changed by Ritsu Doan.
  • 74' - The supporters are chanting for Takumi Minamino. He replaces Hiroki Sakai on 74 minute.

  • 79' - Germany manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Niclas Fullkrug is hanging Kai Havertz on the field on 79 minute.
  • 83' - What a strike from Takuma Asano! The score is 2-3.
  • 88' - 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.
  • 90' - It is a substitution in Germany team. Serge Gnabry is replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko on 90 minute.
  • Full Time. Japan beats Germany
