Welcome to coverage of hosts Germany's Women's World Cup quarter-final against Japan.

That's it! Germany's reign is over, and on home turf! What a shock result, but credit to Japan who progress to the semi-finals.

Just one minute to be added now.

This would be a huge, huge result. One of the biggest in the history of the women's game.

Rumi Utsugi on for Mana Iwabuchi, who herself came on as a sub previously.

Another free-kick goes wasted by Germany though and Japan breathe a big sigh of relief.

Kumagai booked for a foul on Popp but she looked to make the most of it in all honesty.

Bianca Schmidt heads wide from a Behringer cross! Germany are laying siege to the Japan goal.

Now the keeper tips over from Da Mbabi and Germany have a corner. Japan stay resolute though.

Behringer attempts to rescue Germany with a fierce effort but Kaihori brings out a huge save.

GOAL! The world champions are in huge trouble! Sawa dinks a lovely ball over the top for Maruyama, who finishes from a tight angle thanks to some suspect goalkeeping from Angerer.

Da Mbabi attempts to latch onto a pass and turns it into the path of Popp, but Kaihori is off her line quickly to connect.

Right, here we go. Can someone finally find a winner or will the Germans win on penalties?

HALF-TIME IN EXTRA TIME.

Japan go close as Iwashimizu almost gets on the end of a free-kick. At the other end, Da Mbabi can't convert from close range. Drama.

Two added minutes in the first half of extra time.

Incredible to think that after scoring all those goals for her country, Prinz will be staying on the bench as Germany have made all their substitutions.

Kinga whips in a dangerous cross but Japan fail to get a decisive touch on it yet again.

Here is the change and Popp comes on for Grings.

A sloppy pass gives Grings possession in the box and she fails to capitalise when curling an effort wide.

This game is still lacking quality and chances remain few and far between.
