The whole game changed, though, when Takumi Minamino subbed in for Japan. One minute after he entered the game, he scored an equalizing goal after his first shot attempt was saved.

A draw between the two teams would have been shocking on its own, but eight minutes after evening the game, Japan added a second in the 83rd minute on a Takuma Asano goal which he roofed into the net past keeper Manuel Neuer. Both Japanese goals were scored by substitutes.

It gives Japan an early advantage in Group E, which also includes Costa Rica and Spain.
