- 90'+9'That's all from us, we hope you enjoyed that upset victory! The next one can't be too far away, and we'll see you then!
- 90'+9'Well, what a way to kick off Group E! Germany sit at the bottom of the group following that defeat, while Japan are at the top with one win from one! Spain and Costa Rica are yet to play their corresponding fixture, but if the rest of the games are anything like this one, we're in for one hell of a treat, and a very competitive set of fixtures.
- 90'+9'Asano's introduction was the beginning of Japan's turnaround, with the striker popping up to score an unlikely winner 83 minutes in. Coming on after 57 minutes, the VFL Bochum forward had five shots from inside the box, with the one he scored being his sole effort on target. He had just five touches in the box, but won possession three times, once in the final third, and also made a clearance to get Japan out of trouble. Impact.
- 90'+9'What a game, and what a result that is for Japan! Germany had the better of the second half's early stages, and were unlucky not to add to their 1-0 lead. However, Japan manager Hajime Moriyasu made a raft of substitutions, which proved to be the game-changer for Japan. Mitoma, Minamino and Doan all combined for the first goal, scored by the latter, before Asano created something from nothing to smash home the winner as Japan turned the game around! Germany are beaten in their first game for the second successive World Cup, while Japan make the best possible start to their campaign in Qatar!
