FIFA WORLD CUP 2022: Japan stunned Germany by beating Germany 2-1 in a group stage match at the FIFA World Cup on Wednesday. After Saudi Arabia's victory over Argentina, another major upset has been created in the tournament.
Japan stunned everyone by beating Germany 2-1 in the Group E match (Germany vs Japan) at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha on Wednesday. After Saudi Arabia's win against Argentina, another big upset has been created in the Qatar World Cup.
Germany scored the first goal in the 33rd minute with a penalty. But Japan staged a brilliant second-half comeback to equalize first and then score another in the 83rd minute to take the lead, which they held until the final whistle. Even after Ilkay Gundogan opened the scoring in the match, Germany's loss is a huge blow for the team.
Goals from Ritsu Doan and Takuma Asano in the last 15 minutes cost Manuel Neuer's side a crushing defeat. Ilkay Gundogan took the lead with a penalty after Japan goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda had fouled wing back David Raum.
This is Germany's third consecutive defeat in the opening match of the premier championship. The German team, which entered the World Cup 2018 as champions, was defeated by Mexico in the first round. In Euro 2020 too, he had to face defeat against France in the first match.
