Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at Khalifa International Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Kaoru Mitoma, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 30' - Germany is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 33' - What a strike from Ilkay Gundogan! The score is 1-0.
  • 38' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 43' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Japan. Takefusa Kubo is replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 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' - Kaoru Mitoma has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo on 57 minute.
  • 62' - 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 Manuel Neuer suffering a number of foals already.
  • 67' - Another substitution for Germany to replace Thomas Muller by Jonas Hofmann on 67 minute.
  • 71' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ao Tanaka by Ritsu Doan on 71 minute.
  • 72' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 72 minute.
  • 74' - The whistle greets Hiroki Sakai as he departs to be replaced by Takumi Minamino.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 75.
  • 76' - Ritsu Doan with the second goal in the match!
  • 79' - Niclas Fullkrug is replacing Kai Havertz for the Germany side.
  • 83' - What a strike from Takuma Asano! The score is 2-3.
  • 88' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 90' - Time for substitution for Germany. Serge Gnabry is replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Japan players.
