Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to Khalifa International Stadium that hosts another battle between Germany and Japan.
  • 5' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.

  • 15' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' - Daizen Maeda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 30' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 33' - What a strike from Ilkay Gundogan! The score is 1-0.
  • 38' - 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.
  • 43' - 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.

  • 57' - The supporters are chanting for Kaoru Mitoma. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo on 57 minute.
