Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Germany and Japan is underway.
  • 5' - Germany started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Thomas Muller has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' - Shuichi Gonda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 33' - Ilkay Gundogan puts Germany on the lead.
  • 38' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 43' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Takehiro Tomiyasu. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Goal! Kai Havertz scores his 85 goal in 458 matches.
  • 54' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 57' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Yuto Nagatomo departs to be replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Antonio Rudiger, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 67' - It is a substitution in Germany team. Thomas Muller is replaced by Jonas Hofmann on 67 minute.
  • 71' - The whistle greets Ao Tanaka as he departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 72' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ao Tanaka by Ritsu Doan on 72 minute.
  • 74' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Hiroki Sakai departs to be replaced by Takumi Minamino.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 75.
  • 76' - What an equalizer from Ritsu Doan!
  • 79' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Kai Havertz departs to be replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - What a strike from Takuma Asano! The score is 2-3.
  • 88' - 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 Takumi Minamino suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' - Another substitution for Germany to replace Serge Gnabry by Youssoufa Moukoko on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Japan players.
