Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Germany and Japan has kicked off!
  • 5' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Takuma Asano made 186 appearances and scored 18 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' - Ao Tanaka has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - Nico Schlotterbeck needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 25' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 33' - What a strike from Ilkay Gundogan! The score is 1-0.
  • 38' - 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 Joshua Kimmich suffering a number of foals already.
  • 43' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.
  • 46' - Takehiro Tomiyasu has so much to prove this time. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 49' - GOAL! Kai Havertz scores on 45. Assisted by Serge Gnabry
  • 54' - It looks surprising Germany does not make any changes. Daizen Maeda has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 57' - The whistle greets Yuto Nagatomo as he departs to be replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 67' - The whistle greets Thomas Muller as he departs to be replaced by Jonas Hofmann.
  • 71' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Ritsu Doan on 71 minute.
  • 72' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 72 minute.
  • 74' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takumi Minamino is hanging Hiroki Sakai on the field on 74 minute.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 75.
  • 76' - What an equalizer from Ritsu Doan!
  • 79' - Germany manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Niclas Fullkrug is hanging Kai Havertz on the field on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Japan is taking the lead after the goal scored by Takuma Asano on 83.
  • 88' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 90' - The whistle greets Serge Gnabry as he departs to be replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Japan players.
