Gundogan Puts Germany In Front at the End of the First Half
Germany has been steaming hot in the first half. Ikay Gundogan has put the Germans in front. Japan's goalkeeper made a huge mistake bringing Raum down. The referee pointed straight to the penalty spot, and seconds later, Gundogan gave Germany the lead.
Prior to the penalty goal, Kai Havertz’s goal was disallowed on the pretext of offside. Musiala has also been trouble for the Japanese. He has used the spaces brilliantly to create chances for the forwards.
Luis Enrique’s Spain Has a Tough Battle Against Costa Rica
Beginning their competition against a team with a defensive strategy, the 2010 World Cup champions are likely to be frustrated.
Despite having a very youthful team going into the competition, Luis Enrique has access to a lot of talent, and after reaching the Euro 2020 semifinals and finishing as runners-up in the most recent UEFA Nations League, there is cautious hope that Spain can have a successful tournament in Qatar.
The Costa Rican team is loaded with experience, and the Central American team is an obvious underdog to advance to the knockout rounds.
