There will be some recovery time for Germany after this defeat. There will be many years of celebration for Japan following this win.
Japan is not a traditional footballing nation, so this win is even more impressive. They are not one of the powerhouses of world football and have never won a World Cup.
Today, they showed that they are a force to be feared. They played with determination and heart and deserved the victory.
German footballer and Manchester City’s captain Ilkay Gundogan scored his team’s first game from a penalty kick in the 33rd minute.
The Japanese squad did not score during the first half of the match, but they did score in the 75th minute when Ritsu Doan scored.
Takuma Asano scored Japan’s second goal in the 83rd minute, which restored the hope of Japanese fans for the team to progress beyond the group stage.
One of the fan’s favourite teams to progress in the World Cup is the German side, and they faced a strong challenge from Japan.
The German national football team has been crowned world champions four times, in 1945, 1974, 1990, and 2014. They have also qualified for the FIFA World Cup 20 times in total. Despite this, they were eliminated during the group stage of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Japan has made seven appearances at the World Cup, including their most recent trip to Russia, where they reached the knockout stage. As part of the World Cup draw, Germany and Japan were placed in Group E, alongside Spain and Costa Rica.
