Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Germany and Japan is underway.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' - Germany is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 33' - What a strike from Ilkay Gundogan! The score is 1-0.
  • 38' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 43' - 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 David Raum suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Takefusa Kubo as he departs to be replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - It looks surprising Germany does not make any changes. Ao Tanaka has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 57' - Another change for Japan made on 57 minute. Yuto Nagatomo leaves to be changed by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 67' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Thomas Muller departs to be replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ao Tanaka departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - The whistle greets Ao Tanaka as he departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 74' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takumi Minamino is hanging Hiroki Sakai on the field on 74 minute.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-1.
  • 76' - Goal! Ritsu Doan scores his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 79' - Time for substitution for Germany. Kai Havertz is replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - Goal! Takuma Asano scores his 18 goal in 186 matches.
  • 88' - 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.
  • 90' - Youssoufa Moukoko has so much to prove this time. He replaces Serge Gnabry on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Japan players.
