14th: Two goals that change everything!
With these two goals scored, the two behemoths of the pool are in good spirits. Spain also offers a favorable scenario for the Germans, who come second!
11th: BUUUUT DE MORATA, 0-1 FOR SPAIN!!
In the aftermath, it was Spain who opened the scoring against Japan, again with a header!! Found on a center love from Azpilicueta, Morata finishes the job with a stung header a few meters from the opposing goal!!
10th: GOOOOO OF GNABRY, 0-1 FOR GERMANY!!
The Mannschaft quickly translates its domination by opening the scoring thanks to Gnabry!! Served by a very good cross from Raum, the winger perfectly uncrosses his head with a small opposite net!!
8th: Spain was almost surprised
Cornered, Japan took advantage of a high recovery to bring danger into the Spanish area. Ito unleashes a dry shot that ends a small net.
7th: Neuer in the history of his selection
5th: Another stop, for nothing, from Navas
Navas had still done the job on this firecracker at close range and from a closed angle from Gnabry. But the winger was in an offside position at the start.
2nd: Navas already requested!
Enormous Musiala who from the start makes the Costa Rican defense dizzy with a dazzling hook. Navas is vigilant on his line and pushes back the shot fired by the German prodigy!
1st: Let’s go on both lawns!
It was the Germans, in white, and the Spaniards, in red, who kicked off these matches!

Who wants first place?
Note that first place in group E will send its owner to the highest part of the table, with a round of 16 against Croatia then a potential quarter-final against Brazil, the competition’s big favorites.
19:51
Germany no longer has its destiny entirely in its own hands
After the fiasco of 2018, Germany wants to avoid a second road trip in a row from the group stage at the World Cup. The Mannschaft must do the job against Costa Rica and hope that Spain does the same against Japan. Manuel Neuer’s partners are indeed dependent on the result of La Roja, which can do them a dirty trick.
On the Japanese side, five changes too
19:07
On the Costa Rican side, Keylor Navas is obviously there
