Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Costa Rica and Germany has kicked off!
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 10' Serge Gnabry puts Germany on the lead.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brandon Aguilera made 7 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' 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.
- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Matthias Ginter, as he is very good at scoring at Al Bayt Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 35' The travelling Germany supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 40' It looks surprising Costa Rica does not make any changes. Lukas Klostermann has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' Costa Rica 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.
- 46' Another substitution for Costa Rica to replace Brandon Aguilera by Youstin Salas on 46 minute.
- 51' Costa Rica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
- 55' The whistle greets Ilkay Gundogan as he departs to be replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
- 58' Goal! Yeltsin Tejeda scores his 2 goal in 7 matches.
- 59' GOAL! Yeltsin Tejeda scores on 59.
- 64' 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 Celso Borges suffering a number of foals already.
- 66' Another change for Germany made on 66 minute. Thomas Muller leaves to be changed by Kai Havertz.
- 67' The Germany manager makes a substitution. Thomas Muller departs to be replaced by Kai Havertz.
- 70' What a strike from Juan Pablo Vargas! The score is 3-1.
- 73' Goal! Kai Havertz scores his 85 goal in 530 matches.
- 74' Jewison Bennette has so much to prove this time. He replaces Keysher Fuller on 74 minute.
- 77' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Oscar Duarte.
- 82' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Germany needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 85' What an equalizer from Kai Havertz!
- 89' GOAL! Niclas Fullkrug scores on 89. Assisted by Leroy Sane
- 90' Time for substitution for Costa Rica. Yeltsin Tejeda is replaced by Anthony Contreras.
