Kaoru Mitoma made a bold prediction before Japan's clash with his Germany - but he couldn't have been more correct as they shocked the world on Wednesday afternoon.
Ilkay Gundogan gave Germany the lead on the half hour mark from the penalty spot as they dominated the opening 45 minutes. Hansi Flick's side had opportunities to double their advantage after the break, with Gundogan going close while Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz both had chances to score.
But the Samurai Blue fought back and levelled on 75 minutes as Ritsu Doan poked the ball home from close range, sparking delirium in the stands. Moments later, Japan turned the game on its head as a long ball caught Germany napping and Takuma Asano beat the offside trap before coolly slotting past Manuel Neuer at his near post.
