Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Khalifa International Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Germany and Japan.
  • 5' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ritsu Doan scoring 2 goals.
  • 20' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' - 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 Takehiro Tomiyasu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yuto Nagatomo made 131 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 33' - Germany is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ilkay Gundogan on 33.
  • 38' - 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.
  • 43' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 46' - Another change for Japan made on 46 minute. Takefusa Kubo leaves to be changed by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Kaoru Mitoma has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 57' - The supporters are chanting for Kaoru Mitoma. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo on 57 minute.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 67' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Thomas Muller 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' - The whistle greets Ao Tanaka as he departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 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' - Ritsu Doan with the second goal in the match!
  • 79' - The Germany manager makes a substitution. Kai Havertz departs to be replaced by Niclas Fullkrug.
  • 83' - Sensational shot from Takuma Asano. Japan is back in the lead.
  • 88' - Germany is showing some good football. However, Germany are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 90' - Youssoufa Moukoko has so much to prove this time. He replaces Serge Gnabry on 90 minute.
  • With this win, Japan is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
