    That's brilliant from Takuma Asano.

    He closes down the final German defender before chasing down Manuel Neuer who smashes the ball out of player.

    Japan have been superb this second half.

    Germany inches away! A high ball is headed down to Leon Goretzka, but his first-time effort goes just wide of the post!!

    Heart in mouth time for Japan there.

    Ridiculous from Rudiger, he tries to ping that in from 30 yards.

    Antonio Rudiger has a go from 35 yards.

    Well over.

    What's happening here? Germany are screaming for a penalty as Niclas Fullkrug goes down in the box.

    The referee is having none it, though.

    It was a hopeful appeal to say the least.

    Has Hansi Flick messed up with his substitutions?

    Final roll of the dice for Germany as 18-year-old Youssoufa Moukoko comes on for Serge Gnabry to become the youngest player to play for them at a World Cup.

    SEVEN minutes will be added on.

    Plenty of time for late drama.

    Japan are furious, they are claiming a penalty here as one of their players goes down under a challenge by Antonio Rudiger in the box.

    Coach Hajime Moriyasu even sprints down the touchline to appeal to the official, but nothing is given.

    Japan have just sliced through the Germans easily in the second half. Maybe it was the perfect plan from Moriyasu, this is how he saw things working out. His Japan side have continued to grow in belief.

    Japan have never beaten Germany.

    They have three minutes plus stoppage time to hold on to what will be an historic victory.

    What dreadful defending from the Germans. Asano lifts the ball into the net over Neuer, it's a great first touch and a stunning finish. What a comeback!

    GOAL - Germany 1-2 Japanpublished at 83 mins

    Takuma Asano

    OH MY WORD!!

    It is a simple long ball over the top from Japan and Takuma Asano controls it instantly, shifts the ball away from the defender and buries it in the roof of the net from a tight angle.

    Asano sprints to the Japan fans, joined by all his team-mates - and all of the substitutes!

    What a moment! What a comeback!

    How much will Shuichi Gonda have enjoyed that goal?

    Only one Japan goalkeeper has made more saves than his eight today in a World Cup game. Step forward Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi against Brazil in 2006, with 10.

    You suspect Gonda might need to break that record during the remaining minutes here.

    The stadium is absolutely bouncing now - and all the noise from the Japan fans.

    What a turnaround in this game.

    Can either side grab a late winner?

    The Germans really are rattled. Japan have got that confidence, they're popping the ball about and they look the likelier team.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 80 mins

    How did Germany respond here? They start with another double sub as Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala are replaced by Niclas Fullkrug and Mario Gotze.

    You go back to those four saves from Gonda. The urgency and intensity from Japan is amazing now. Can the Germans respond and get themselves back in front?

    The Khalifa International Stadium erupted when that equaliser went in.

    Japanese subs poured onto the pitch to celebrate with goalscorer Ritsu Doan.

    Can they go on and win it???
