Group E of the 2022 World Cup Qatar faces the final round of a life-and-death match, with Japan against Spain and Germany against Costa Rica.
After Germany's draw with Spain in the previous round, German defender Antonio Rudiger approached Spain's players and asked them to beat Japan in this match to increase Germany's chances of qualifying. At the same time, the qualification of the Japanese team is not optimistic about the outside world, and the big data website predicts that the Japanese team has only a 20% probability of qualifying from the group.
In the first half, the game was indeed as predicted, with Germany and Spain scoring in the first 10 minutes or so, and Japan on the verge of elimination.
The Japanese players on the field also had emotional problems, and the three players on the back line were shown yellow cards in a short period of time, and it can be seen that the Japanese players seem to see no hope. According to the plot of Germany and Spain joining forces to "resist Japan", the two teams will continue to maintain the lead in the second half and finally kick the Japanese team out.
If the game of football really goes the way people predict, then football as a sport will not become the number one sport in the world, and its charm is that anything can happen before the final whistle blows.
At the beginning of the second half, Morihoichi made two substitutions, with Yasu Don and Kaoru Mikasa coming off the bench, and Japan also ushered in their happiest three-minute moment.
In the 48th minute, substitute Don Yasuru suddenly fired a cold arrow to help Japan equalize and retain their second place in the group; In the 51st minute, substitute Kaoru Mikasa saved a cross from the bottom line of the penalty area, and Tanaka scored an empty goal in front of the goal, and Japan defeated Spain 2-1 to top the group.
Spain, which originally wanted to join forces with Germany to defeat Japan, was now in no way, and coach Luis Enrique looked vacantly into the field, unable to believe what had happened in the past three minutes.
The said alliance of "anti-Japanese" was completely shattered by the Japanese team at this moment, and this is not the "darkest moment" of Spain.
After the Japanese team completed the score, Costa Rica in the other group also suddenly made a move, and in the 58th minute, Costa Rica scored a goal to equalize the score; In the 70th minute, Costa Rica also beat Germany by the next city. At this moment, Costa Rica and Japan both ranked in the top two of the group, and Germany and Spain, which joined forces to "resist Japan", were already halfway home.
After seeing the "alliance" broken, the German team no longer looked left and right and focused on doing their job well. After being reversed by Costa Rica, they quickly equalised by Kai Havertz, a goal that pulled Spain back on their way home.
Subsequently, Kai Havertz scored twice and substitute Phil Kruger scored back-to-back goals to give Germany a 4-2 victory. However, due to the fact that Spain failed to equalize in the other game, Germany's victory was meaningless, and they still did not qualify for the last 16 of this World Cup.
According to the original plot, Spain should have saved Germany, but in the end, it was the German team that saved Spain. If Germany also "lies flat" after being reversed, as Spain did, then both European teams will be sent home by Japan.
This is football, ups and downs, thrilling, Asian football is finally raising its eyebrows at this moment. Japan's successive group stage beatings against Germany and Spain also taught a lesson to arrogant European football.
