W’Cup: Japan upset Germany in dramatic win

Japan came back to score twice in a 2-1 dramatic win over Germany.

Germany took full advantage of a Japan transgression, as midfielder Ilkay Gundogan punched in the penalty kick.

After a VAR decision, forward Kai Havertz’s goal was ruled offside for Germany, who took a 1-0 lead into halftime.

Following a muted offensive performance, Japan have come to life late in the second half. Just minutes after scoring its first goal, forward Takuma Asano caught a pass down the right side of the field and knocked in Japan’s second goal, giving them a 2-1 lead.
