Japan produced the second World Cup in shock in two days after they beat 2014 champions Germany courtesy of a superb second half comeback. Ilkay Gundogan gave Hansi Flick's side the lead with a first half penalty but Ritsu Doan and Takuma Asano both found the back of the net in the space of eight second half minutes to hand Japan a memorable World Cup win.
Argentina also lost their opening group game in shocking fashion to Saudi Arabia, in a match that followed a very similar format to the Germans defeat to Japan, with the underdogs fighting back in the second half after a penalty gave the favourites the lead.
Both Argentina and Germany had opportunities to kill the game but a lack of conviction in front of goal came back to bite them as they are now both immediately on the backfoot to qualify out of the group having lost their first game.
