Germany vs Japan, Highlights: Japan beat Germany 2-1

Well, who would have thought that? What a match, what a moment. Japan have sprung up a surprise and how! They beat Germany 2-1.

Well... the last 7 minutes are coming up and the fans are in for a cracker of a contest. Germany would attack like there's no tomorrow. Can Japan withstand what's about to come?

What a moment this is. Look at Takuma Asano go. Mad scenes. What a match this is turning out to be. Germany and Asian opponents. This isn't really a love story.

What a goal and what a moment in the game this is. Japan did everything they could and they deserve every bit of this. Look at the players go. They know the value of this goal. Super stuff. Pressure on Germany.

The goalkeepers of both the sides have been right on the money. First Japan saved a potential goal and now Germany saves one Great stuf!

R. Dōan comes in for A. Tanaka.

Hofmann comes in place of Muller. Gundogan is replaced with Leon Goretzka.

Oh, almost another goal for Germany and they miss it by a whisker. Gundagon wouldn't be happy with himself.  Musiala did everything right with that one.

Germany started aggressively, but after that, both teams seem to be going through the motions. Japan need to up their game. They haven't really had the ball in control so far. Germany doing what they do best.

Well, Germany is at it again. What a goal though. Everyone knew it was their goal to miss out once it came near the keeper. 

Scratch that...it's off-side. The scoreline rests at 1-0. 

What is Going On?

Alright, Germany may be in lead, but don't count Japan out just yet. Germany plays fast and if they lose the ball to Japan, anything can happen. Japan has had their moments, but they need to make it count. Although the form Germany looks is scary and Japan would want to be at their very best.

Told you! The team was doing everything right and it was just a matter of time. Germany scores the first goal and by the looks of it, it is the first of many to come in this match.

Well.. well.. well..Japan may have found an offside goal to begin with, but Germany have been on the attack ever since. Not long before we see a goal. 

Germany, as expected, is on the attack. Japan, on the other hand, looks like they are well prepared for the onslaught. Everyone knows how they play. Looks like the plan is in place. Who will break first?

19-year-old Jamal Musiala is now the youngest player to play a World Cup for Germany.
