Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to Khalifa International Stadium that hosts another battle between Germany and Japan.
  • 5' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' - Germany is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' - Germany 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.
  • 30' - 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 Nico Schlotterbeck suffering a number of foals already.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - It looks surprising Germany does not make any changes. Wataru Endo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 43' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 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' - Niklas Sule has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 57' - Kaoru Mitoma is replacing Yuto Nagatomo for the Japan side.
  • 62' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 67' - It is a substitution in Germany team. Thomas Muller is replaced by Jonas Hofmann on 67 minute.
  • 71' - Another change for Japan made on 71 minute. Ao Tanaka leaves to be changed by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ao Tanaka by Ritsu Doan on 72 minute.
  • 74' - The supporters are chanting for Takumi Minamino. He replaces Hiroki Sakai on 74 minute.
  • 75' - Goal! Ritsu Doan scores his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 76' - Goal! Ritsu Doan scores his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 79' - Germany manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Niclas Fullkrug is hanging Kai Havertz on the field on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Japan is taking the lead after the goal scored by Takuma Asano on 83.
  • 88' - 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.
  • 90' - The whistle greets Serge Gnabry as he departs to be replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • Full Time. Japan beats Germany
