Germany beat the United States in the World Cup warm-up | OneFootball

Die Mannschaft avoided a negative result on a Chicago afternoon. Although they did not have an entirely comfortable time, Julian Nagelsmann's team claimed a 2-1 win over the home side. Germany defeated the United States in the friendly ahead of the World Cup.

The Europeans opened the scoring in the first minute. A free kick by Joshua Kimmich, with just 100 seconds gone, found the accurate header of Kai Havertz, leaving Matt Freese with no chance.

As the minutes passed, the Stars and Stripes improved. So much so that they found the equalizer in the 37th minute of the first half. Christian Pulisic swung in a corner from the right, Jonathan Tah cleared it with a header, and Antonee Robinson smashed it past Oliver Baumann.

Leroy Sané saved Germany in Chicago and beat the United States

The home side finished the first half better. In fact, they could have turned it around, but neither Sergiño Dest nor Pulisic converted the chances they created. And when the second half began, the Germans did not forgive.

12 minutes into the second half, Jamal Musiala combined with Kai Havertz. The Arsenal forward, inside the box, laid it into the middle. And Leroy Sané, with a shot to Freese's right post, put the smile back on Die Mannschaft.

The United States could have equalized near the end with a shot from Joseph Scally that brushed past Baumann's right post and a rocket from Brenden Aaronson that the goalkeeper tipped away. The 2-1 win went to Germany, who created little, were clinical, and will arrive at the World Cup with a victory that will force them to keep working.
