Overview

• Nadiem Amiri came on in the 61st minute, scored his first international goal for 2:1, and won the free kick that Florian Wirtz converted for 3:1.
• Maximilian Beier’s run in behind disrupted goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell on the decisive move, earning post-match praise from Julian Nagelsmann.
• Germany led through Serge Gnabry before Isaac Price equalized, and halftime boos prompted Nagelsmann’s rebuke of critics as “hyenas in the bush.”
• Analyses called the performance uneven and highlighted ongoing issues with structure, form and depth, with injuries to Niclas Füllkrug, Tim Kleindienst and Kai Havertz limiting options.
• Focus now shifts to Luxembourg on 10 October and the return match in Belfast on 13 October, widely labeled must-wins to keep direct qualification on course.
