Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to Khalifa International Stadium that hosts another battle between Germany and Japan.
  • 5' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yuto Nagatomo made 131 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Manuel Neuer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Kaoru Mitoma has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 33' - Goal! Ilkay Gundogan scores his 56 goal in 357 matches.
  • 38' - 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.
  • 43' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Antonio Rudiger, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 46' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takehiro Tomiyasu is hanging Takefusa Kubo on the field on 46 minute.
  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 57' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Yuto Nagatomo by Kaoru Mitoma on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 67' - Time for substitution for Germany. Thomas Muller is replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 71 minute.
  • 72' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 72 minute.
  • 74' - Another change for Japan made on 74 minute. Hiroki Sakai leaves to be changed by Takumi Minamino.
  • 75' - Goal! Ritsu Doan scores his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 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' - 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' - Another change for Germany made on 90 minute. Serge Gnabry leaves to be changed by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • Full Time. Japan beats Germany
