Germany stunned by Japan comeback in latest World Cup shock

DOHA, Qatar -- After Saudi Arabia's win over Argentina, Qatar 2022 saw not just another upset, but another come-from-behind upset with the supposed minnow upending the heavy favorite.

Germany went ahead in the first half via a Ilkay Gündogan penalty, but substitutes Ritsu Doan and Takuma Asano struck in the last 15 minutes to turn the tie on its head.

Japan's 2-1 victory underscores just how shaky this Germany side have become, particularly when they appear in control.
