Japan's first goal came after Takumi Minanmino, formerly of Liverpool, passed the ball through the box, which Manuel Neuer could only save, to Ritsu Doan's cross. He had only been on the pitch for four minutes and hit his own net to level the score.

Japan's second goal came from a passing pass that another substitute Takum Asano crossed before plunging the ball into the German net. The Japanese bench went wild and ran down the touchline to celebrate.
