Japan defeats Germany 2-1 in a World Cup shock as Takuma Asano’s 83rd-minute winner stuns the four-time champions.
Ilkay Gundogan gave Germany a first-half lead from the penalty spot before Ritsu Doan equalized in the 75th minute, giving Japan the chance to set up the winning goal.
The result comes a day after Saudi Arabia’s stunning upset win over Lionel Messi’s Argentina.
