Germany beat the United States in the pre-World Cup friendly | OneFootball

Die Mannschaft avoided a poor result on an afternoon in Chicago. Although it did not have an entirely easy 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 from Joshua Kimmich, with only 100 seconds gone in the match, found the accurate header of Kai Havertz, leaving Matt Freese with no chance.

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

Leroy Sané rescued Germany in Chicago and beat the United States

The home side finished the first half better. In fact, it could have turned it around, but Sergiño Dest and Pulisic failed to convert 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 the right post of Freese, put a smile back on Die Mannschaft.

The United States could have equalized near the end with a shot from Joseph Scally that went just wide of Baumann’s right post and a missile from Brenden Aaronson that the goalkeeper tipped away. The 2-1 win went to Germany, which created little, was efficient, and will head to the World Cup with a victory that will force it to keep working.
