The Japanese star showed a great performance, helping the home team win a great victory.
Takehiro Tomiyasu and his teammates in the Japanese team had an impressive performance in the clash with Germany.
The Arsenal star played extremely solidly, saving the home team many times and creating confidence for the upfield stars to focus on scoring many goals.
Tomiyasu almost ‘killed’ Leroy Sane in this encounter.
Despite the Bayern Munich player’s speed and clever ball handling, he was still able to control the situation.
In a situation where Sane entered the penalty area, Tomiyasu retreated in time and created enough impact to make the opponent lose control.
In another phase, this time Sane was faced with the opportunity to face the Japanese goalkeeper.
However, Tomiyasu did not let that happen. He made a precise tackle right in front of Sane’s toes and made the opportunity slip away from the German star’s reach.
The Arsenal star’s timely appearance was an important factor in helping Japan win 4-1 in the end.
Statistics show that Tomiyasu had 7 successful ball recovery situations, 6 successful clearances, 3 interceptions, 3 successful duels and 1 successful tackle.
Besides, he also showed his influence on the overall gameplay with 6 long passes, 5 times sending the ball into the final third area and contributing to 1 goal in Japan’s 4-1 victory.
