  • 0' - KICK OFF: Japan gets underway.
  • 5' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Hiroki Sakai, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 15' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Wataru Endo made 163 appearances and scored 24 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 33' - Goal! Ilkay Gundogan scores his 56 goal in 357 matches.
  • 38' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Germany that had 162 games and scored 27 goals.
