In Doha, the Japanese team overcame a 0-1 deficit and Germany’s first-half superiority, held on to goalkeeper Shuichi and turned it around with the substitutions of Ritsu Doan and Takuma Asano. Thus, they shook up the start of Group E and put pressure on Germany, which cannot fail in the second match against Spain. In a match for the history books, Costa Rica was unable to prevail against its counterpart Spain in the framework of the first match of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. With this result, ‘La Roja’ is the leader of Group E together with Japan.
