🚨 Germany bounce back from Curaçao shock with quickfire double | OneFootball

One thing is already certain: there’s no chance of boredom with the DFB team at this World Cup. In the opening match against Curaçao, it first looked like a perfect start thanks to Felix Nmecha, followed by a major setback with the equalizer. Germany was able to settle the nerves with a quick double strike before the break. 

After a corner from Nathaniel Brown, Nico Schlotterbeck powered the DFB side back into the lead with a header.

Even before the halftime whistle, the DFB team had more promising chances to score. But Pavlovic, Brown, and Musiala were unable to make them count at first.

 With the final action of the first half, the impressive Nmecha was fouled again in the penalty area - penalty. Kai Havertz bundled the ball over the line, and Germany heads into the dressing room with a small cushion.
