Germany vs Japan
The two teams had faced each other twice, most recently in a 2006 friendly, which finished in a 2–2 draw. In the 33rd minute, Germany were awarded a penalty when Japan goalkeeper fouled David Raum. Ilkay Gündogan scored the penalty with a shot down the middle of the net with the goalkeeper diving to the right.[5] In the 75th minute it was 1–1 when Ritsu Doan scored, finishing a rebound to the net after Manuel Neuer had saved a low shot from the left. Japan went in front eight minutes later when Takuma Asano received the ball down the right wing before running into the penalty area and shooting high to the net from the right of the six yard box.[6] The result was the second consecutive time that Germany lost its opening World Cup match after losing 1–0 to Mexico in 2018.[7]
