Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Japan gets underway.
  • 5' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Junya Ito has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - 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 Thomas Muller suffering a number of foals already.
  • 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' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 33' - Germany is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ilkay Gundogan on 33.
  • 38' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 43' - It’s high time Hansi Flick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 46' - Another change for Japan made on 46 minute. Takefusa Kubo leaves to be changed by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 54 minutes.
  • 57' - The supporters are chanting for Kaoru Mitoma. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 67' - Time for substitution for Germany. Thomas Muller is replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - Time for substitution for Japan. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Ritsu Doan.

  • 83' - What a strike from Takuma Asano! The score is 2-3.
  • 88' - Jamal Musiala needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
