The Germans started winning and spared the Japanese. But DT Hajime Moriyasu moved the bench in time and achieved a historic comeback.
Japan just made history. The Asian national team achieved the second blow of the Qatar 2022 World Cup and Germany beat them 2-1. Flick’s men started winning and dominating the game. They had him to liquidate him but they spared the life of the Japanese. Then, the hand of the coach Hajime Moriyasu was seen that moved the bench, removed the starting forward, Maeda, and included the platinum Asano. And at 70 minutes he included Doan, who five later would score the tie. At 83 it would be the moment of the striker who had already had a pair but had collided with the goalkeeper Neuer. The Japanese ran to the right and nailed it to the roof of the arch, in the only place where there was room. It was 2-1 for Japan, which was left with a historic victory and consummated the second result “breaks prode” of Qatar.
