First it was Gnabry from the right wing, then it was Musiala and then Kimmich and then Gnabary again and all of them were on target, but none of them could breach the wall called Shūichi Gonda

'Die Mannschaft' of the team as they are called back home, are leading 1-0 and the Japanese would have to pull out more than just their A-game to come back into the match
