FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 kicked off at 22:00 Japan time.  In the first half of the game, Germany scored one goal, and the strength of Germany was shown to the end.  Japan took the lead in the second half when they were chasing a goal, leveling the score in the 30th minute, and scoring a goal in the 38th minute to win the come-from-behind victory.  It was truly an exciting match.  Japan’s victory over Germany erupted with joy throughout Japan, and the media of each country couldn’t hide their surprise, reporting that it was a “great shock” and “the second upset of the tournament”.  Among them, the UK’s “Daily Mail” reported that “the underdog Japan upset the tournament for the second time with two goals in the final stages of the game played by a player playing in Germany”, and  praised it as a big victory following the result of victory that Saudi Arabia reversed to Argentina the day before.
