Germany Labors Past Luxembourg 2-0 to Set Up Nov. 17 Group Decider With Slovakia

Germany needs only a draw in Leipzig to clinch direct qualification following Slovakia's stoppage-time win.

Overview

  • Nick Woltemade scored both goals in the 49th and 69th minutes, with Leroy Sané involved in the build-up and later hitting the crossbar.
  • Germany toiled through a disjointed first half as Luxembourg pressed aggressively and created the better early chances.
  • Supporters voiced anger on social media, labeling the early display a disgrace and embarrassing despite the three points.
  • Slovakia defeated Northern Ireland 1-0 in stoppage time to stay level on points, leaving Germany ahead on goal difference.
  • The decider is Monday, November 17 in Leipzig, where Slovakia must win and Julian Nagelsmann plans a review of the issues exposed.
