This was a classic case of a moment of individual excellence that outshone a team with more collective talent. In this case, it came from the quick feet of Asano, who does everything brilliantly in this goal. The first touch is sublime, the strength to hold off the defender is key and then the shot powered over Manuel Neuer is a rocket into the roof of the net. And just like that, Japan stole a victory from mighty Germany.
