Ilkay Gundogan had put Germany ahead with a penalty in the 33rd minute at the Khalifa International Stadium. However, second-half strikes from Ritsu Doan and Takuma Asano left the Germans scratching their heads as Japan secured a 2-1 to go top of Group E, ahead of the game between Spain and Costa Rica.
