Germany, a four-time World Cup champion, dominated the first half with over 70% possession and led 1-0 via an Ilkay Gündoğan penalty.
Japan completely flipped the script in the second half through tactical substitutions. Ritsu Dōan equalized in the 75th minute, and Takuma Asano scored a dramatic winner from a tight angle in the 83rd minute, kicking off Germany’s eventual group-stage exit.
