On the other hand, Japan is one the finest Asian team that is ranked 21st in FIFA Rankings. What they lacked was they have never defeated their European opponents. 


Germany started the game well but didn’t capitalize the chances perfectly. Due to Gundogan’s blunder, Japan got an early goal that was shortly cancelled out due to offside. Again, Hansi Flick’s men started to dominate the show. Kimmich’s brilliant pass created tension for Gonda who made a poor tackle that called up for Penalty. Germany took lead as Gundogan's strike sent the Goalkeeper the wrong way. Before halftime, Germany doubled the lead but again flag up for offside. The German side went to the break with a 1-0. 

Japan beat Germany

Japan Late Winner

Before the arrival of Ritso Doan in the next 45', Germany was in full swing with some excellent chances of scoring. But then things started to reverse. Manuel Neuer saved the shot from Endo but that doesn’t secure Germany for long. Ritsu Doan the substitute levelled the score after 2 minutes. From there Japan was a better team and Germany looked silly. Itakura’s sensational visionary pass fell at the feet of Asano who ran fast and smashed into the top left corner. Japan 2-1 up!!. Germany tried to put an equalizer but determined Japanese didn’t allow them.


The whistle blew and Japan stunned The German side and created history. Another huge upset that will go into the history books of the World Cup.
