Qatar provides another shock result as Japan beat Germany

The tournament in Qatar has delivered another shock result with Japan beating former World Cup champions Germany 2-1.

Germany were the first to score netting from a first half penalty (Ilkay Gundogan), but they were unable to use their domination of possession to win the game.

The game on Wednesday, November 23 saw Germany keep the ball for 74 per cent of the game, as well as take twice as many shots on goal.

But it was left to Japan to score in the 75th (Ritsu Doan) and 83rd minute (Takuma Asano) to take the game, leaving a stunned German team.
