📸 Nearly nodded off: Woltemade wakes up sleepy Germany | OneFootball

The semi-final of the Nations League between Germany and Portugal has not been a fireworks display of chances so far. Both teams are showing signs of nervousness. Many turnovers and rushed attacking actions characterized the first almost 20 minutes.

Then the debutant Nick Woltemade made a statement. Aleksandar Pavlović dribbled towards the Portuguese penalty area and served Woltemade at the edge of the box. The Stuttgart player held his ground strongly against Ruben Dias and let the ball drop back to Pavlović.

After a duel between the Munich player and Goncalo Inacio, the ball remained and all players except Woltemade switched off. However, the VfB striker could not capitalize on the good opportunity from eight meters. Diogo Costa saved it for a corner.
