Germany crash out of World Cup

Germany have crashed out of the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar despite the 4:2 win over Costa Rica on Thursday December 1st, 2022.

Japan defeated Spain 2-1 in the other group game, which however affected Germany’s journey before the knockout stages started for the second World Cup in a row.

Japan’s winning goal, which effectively knocked Germany out, was somewhat controversial, with some believing the ball went out of play before Kaoru Mitoma crossed it to Ao Tanaka, who went on to score.

However, a lengthy VAR check followed the goal, and it was ruled in Japan’s favour, with officials saying the whole of the ball had not crossed the line.

The team’s first goal was scored by Ritsu Doan with a shot from the edge of the box in the 48th minute.

The results mean Japan topped Group E, and Spain came second, with Costa Rica finishing bottom.
