Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Khalifa International Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Germany and Japan.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Ilkay Gundogan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 39 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - It looks like no one’s ball. Germany is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 43' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Antonio Rudiger has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' - Takehiro Tomiyasu is replacing Takefusa Kubo for the Japan side.
  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 57' - Kaoru Mitoma has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo on 57 minute.
  • 62' - It’s high time Hansi Flick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 67' - Germany manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jonas Hofmann is hanging Thomas Muller on the field on 67 minute.
  • 71' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ao Tanaka departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Ritsu Doan on 72 minute.
  • 74' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Hiroki Sakai is replaced by Takumi Minamino on 74 minute.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 2-1.
  • 76' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 76.
  • 79' - It is a substitution in Germany team. Kai Havertz is replaced by Niclas Fullkrug on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Goal! Takuma Asano scores his 18 goal in 186 matches.
  • 88' - 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.
  • 90' - Youssoufa Moukoko is replacing Serge Gnabry for the Germany side.
  • Full Time. Japan beats Germany
