After hustling, Ilkay Gundogan gave a breakthrough to the Germany side against Japan in the first half. Germany got the championship title in the 2014 edition of the World Cup. Die Mannschaft were trying to get a win comfortably over Japan in their clash.

However, two goals lately from Japan helped them find the way for the Asian giants to get another massive upset. Japan sidelined Germany with 2-1 to secure all three points in the tournament opening match.
