Germany hosted the Netherlands on the 3rd day in Group 3 of League A. A meeting between the first two in the group which was controlled from start to finish by the Mannschaft.
Unsuccessful German domination throughout the match. Winger Jamie Leweling, for example, thought he had opened the scoring two minutes after kick-off.
A goal invalidated after appeal by the VAR (Referee Assistance Video) due to the offside position of his teammate Serge Gnabry.
The chances intensified, Kliendienst in the 9th minute, Mittelstaädt 11th or even Gnabry in the 41st and 53rd minutes. But we had to wait until an hour of play.
Finally a goal from Leweling
VfB Stuttgart striker Jamie Leweling made the difference. He, who was playing his first match in the jersey of the senior German team, seized his chance with a powerful shot into the top corner (1-0, 64th).
“The first half was the best we have played. Extremely dominant. The Netherlands had no solution to play from the defensive line. The goal refused. In my eyes, it was a bad decision. There is a clear rule. I don’t understand the referee’s decision. We must accept it. But in the end we scored and won” explained coach Julian Nagelsmann after the match.
The scorer of the evening Jamie Leweling was called up by coach Julian Nagelsmann to compensate for the absence of the injured Jamal Musiala.
