On Wednesday, November 23, at the 2022 World Cup, where, on the eve of the current world champions, the French started with a crushing victory over Australia, the teams of two more groups entered the fight - E and F.
World Cup 2022. Group Tournament. 1st round
Group E
Germany - Japan - 1:2 (Gündogan, 33, from the penalty spot - Doan, 75, Asano, 83).
The first half didn’t foretell any special problems for Bundestim. The Germans opened the scoring from the penalty spot, and just before the break they scored more, however, the goal was not counted due to offside. But after the break, Japan managed to shock everyone by scoring two goals in eight minutes (the players who entered the field from the bench scored) and inflicting a sensational defeat on one of the main favorites. It is noteworthy that Germany loses the opening match for the second consecutive World Cup - in 2018, the Bundestim lost to Mexico (0: 1) and finished last in the group.
Spain - Costa Rica - 7:0 (Olmo, 11, Asensio, 21, F. Torres, 31, from the penalty spot, 54, Gavi, 74, Soler, 90, Morata, 90+2).
Many experts expected that Costa Rica would be able to give battle to Spain, but the “Red Fury” literally swept the opponent off the field. The representatives of Central America were not helped to avoid the greatest defeat in the history of world championships and the experienced goalkeeper of PSG Keylor Navas.
