Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at Khalifa International Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - Daizen Maeda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Germany needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Jamal Musiala, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 33' - Germany is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ilkay Gundogan on 33.
  • 38' - Nico Schlotterbeck has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 26 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 43' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Takehiro Tomiyasu. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 49' - GOAL! Kai Havertz scores on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry
  • 54' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 57' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Yuto Nagatomo by Kaoru Mitoma on 57 minute.
  • 62' - 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.

  • 71' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ao Tanaka by Ritsu Doan on 71 minute.

  • 76' - Ritsu Doan with the second goal in the match!
  • 79' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Kai Havertz departs to be replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - What a strike from Takuma Asano! The score is 2-3.
  • 88' - 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.
  • 90' - It is a substitution in Germany team. Serge Gnabry is replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko on 90 minute.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Germany.
