Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at Khalifa International Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - 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 Shuichi Gonda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kaoru Mitoma made 326 appearances and scored 44 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' - Takehiro Tomiyasu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 33' - GOAL! Ilkay Gundogan scores on 33.
  • 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 Germany does not make any changes. Thomas Muller has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Takefusa Kubo by Takehiro Tomiyasu on 46 minute.
  • 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' - The supporters are chanting for Kaoru Mitoma. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 67' - Jonas Hofmann is replacing Thomas Muller for the Germany side.
  • 71' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 71 minute.
  • 72' - The supporters are chanting for Ritsu Doan. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 72 minute.
  • 74' - Takumi Minamino is replacing Hiroki Sakai for the Japan side.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 75.
  • 76' - Ritsu Doan with the second goal in the match!
  • 79' - Niclas Fullkrug is replacing Kai Havertz for the Germany side.
  • 83' - Takuma Asano puts Japan on the lead.
  • 88' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 90' - The whistle greets Serge Gnabry as he departs to be replaced by Youssoufa Moukoko.
  • With this win, Japan is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
