DOHA -- When opportunity knocks, it's best to answer. And answer is precisely what midfielder Ritsu Doan did when he knocked in the crucial equalizer minutes after coming off the bench in Japan's 2-1 victory against the German giants in Qatar on Wednesday.
The Samurai Blue went a goal behind after conceding a penalty kick in the first half. After the break, Doan, who plays in Germany's Bundesliga, came on to replace Ao Tanaka.
