Japan claimed a famous 2-1 victory over Germany at the World Cup on Wednesday, with second-half substitutes Ritsu Doan and Takuma Asano both scoring to hand the Samurai Blue a dramatic comeback win in the tournament's Group E opener. Doan was in the right spot to slam home a rebound after Germany's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer could only parry a ball whipped into the goalmouth by fellow substitute Takumi Minamino. Just minutes later, Asano latched onto a long ball and showed great strength to hold off a defender and smash it high into the net past the German stopper.
