Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Germany and Japan has kicked off!
  • 5' - Germany is showing some good football. However, Germany are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' - Manuel Neuer has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' - 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 Maya Yoshida suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 38.
  • 43' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Ritsu Doan, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 3 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 46' - Takehiro Tomiyasu has so much to prove this time. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - It looks like no one’s ball. Germany is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 57' - The supporters are chanting for Kaoru Mitoma. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 67' - It is a substitution in Germany team. Thomas Muller is replaced by Jonas Hofmann on 67 minute.
  • 71' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ao Tanaka departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 72 minute.
  • 74' - Takumi Minamino has so much to prove this time. He replaces Hiroki Sakai on 74 minute.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-1.
  • 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' - Takuma Asano puts Japan on the lead.
  • 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' - Another change for Germany made on 90 minute. Serge Gnabry leaves to be changed by Youssoufa Moukoko.
