Japan stunned Germany, 2-1, in their World Cup opener on Wednesday, Nov. 23, punishing the four-time champions for not taking their chances after they dominated the first half.

DOHA —

Hansi Flick’s team came to Qatar under huge pressure to avoid the disaster of 2018, when they failed to make it out of the group stage in Russia as holders. Japan are eyeing a place in the knockout round after a dramatic comeback that scarcely looked possible at the end of the first half. Gundogan put the Germans ahead after they were awarded a penalty when Gonda tripped David Raum, coolly slotting his kick down the middle.

Japan brought on livewire forwards Asano and Kaoru Mitoma to try to inject some energy into the four-times Asian champions.
