Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Germany kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 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 looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 20' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ao Tanaka made 326 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 33' - Germany is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ilkay Gundogan on 33.
  • 38' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 38 minutes.
  • 43' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Jamal Musiala has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Takefusa Kubo is replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 57' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kaoru Mitoma is hanging Yuto Nagatomo on the field on 57 minute.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 67' - Jonas Hofmann is replacing Thomas Muller for the Germany side.
  • 71' - Ritsu Doan is replacing Ao Tanaka for the Japan side.
  • 72' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Ritsu Doan on 72 minute.
  • 74' - Takumi Minamino has so much to prove this time. He replaces Hiroki Sakai on 74 minute.
  • 75' - Goal! Ritsu Doan scores his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 76' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 76.
  • 79' - The supporters are chanting for Niclas Fullkrug. He replaces Kai Havertz on 79 minute.
  • 83' - GOAL! Takuma Asano scores on 83.
  • 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' - Another change for Germany made on 90 minute. Serge Gnabry leaves to be changed by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • Another three points for Japan.
