Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Khalifa International Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Germany and Japan.
  • 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' - Jamal Musiala needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - 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 Wataru Endo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - Serge Gnabry has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 43' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 43 minutes.
  • 46' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Takefusa Kubo is replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - GOAL! Kai Havertz scores on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry
  • 54' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 57' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma on 57 minute.
  • 62' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 67' - The whistle greets Thomas Muller as he departs to be replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ao Tanaka by Ritsu Doan on 71 minute.
  • 72' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Ritsu Doan on 72 minute.
  • 74' - Time for substitution for Japan. Hiroki Sakai is replaced by Takumi Minamino.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-1.
  • 76' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 76.
  • 79' - Another change for Germany made on 79 minute. Kai Havertz leaves to be changed by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - Goal! Takuma Asano scores his 18 goal in 186 matches.
  • 88' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 90' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Serge Gnabry departs to be replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Germany.
