Live comments

  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Germany is hosting Japan for another epic battle.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Germany started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 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 Takefusa Kubo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Serge Gnabry has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 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' - Goal! Ilkay Gundogan scores his 56 goal in 357 matches.
  • 38' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 43' - Maya Yoshida has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Takefusa Kubo as he departs to be replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 57' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kaoru Mitoma is hanging Yuto Nagatomo on the field on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Yuto Nagatomo, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 67' - Time for substitution for Germany. Thomas Muller is replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - The supporters are chanting for Ritsu Doan. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 71 minute.
