Germany stunned by Japan in latest World Cup shock

DOHA, Qatar — After Saudi Arabia‘s win over Argentina, Qatar 2022 saw not just another upset, but another come-from-behind upset with the supposed minnow upending the heavy favorite.

Germany went ahead in the first half on Wednesday via an Ilkay G?ndogan penalty, but substitutes Ritsu Doan and Takuma Asano struck in the last 15 minutes to turn the tie on its head.

Japan‘s 2-1 victory underscores just how shaky this Germany side have become, particularly when they appear in control.
