Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Germany kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ritsu Doan made 264 appearances and scored 36 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' - 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 Kaoru Mitoma suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 20' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 33' - What a strike from Ilkay Gundogan! The score is 1-0.
  • 38' - Daizen Maeda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 43' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 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' - 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.
  • 57' - Kaoru Mitoma is replacing Yuto Nagatomo for the Japan side.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 67' - Another change for Germany made on 67 minute. Thomas Muller leaves to be changed by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ao Tanaka departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - Another change for Japan made on 72 minute. Ao Tanaka leaves to be changed by Ritsu Doan.
  • 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' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 76.
  • 79' - The whistle greets Kai Havertz as he departs to be replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - Takuma Asano puts Japan on the lead.
  • 88' - 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.
  • 90' - It is a substitution in Germany team. Serge Gnabry is replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko on 90 minute.
  • Another three points for Japan.
