CGTN原文:
Japan secured a second valuable win for an Asian team over a traditional footballing powerhouse at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar after defeating Germany 2-1 in Group E. As Spain dominated Costa Rica 7-0 in the other game in the group, Germany are now in a very unfavorable situation in the race for Round of 16 qualification.
在卡塔尔举行的世界杯比赛中,日本队在E组小组赛里以2比1的比分击败德国队,这是此次世界杯中出现的第二次、一支亚洲足球队打败了一个足球强国的非凡胜利。由于西班牙在E组小组赛的另一场比赛中以7比0的比分战胜了哥斯达黎加,德国目前在争夺16强资格的竞争中处于非常不利的境地。
