Germany even managed to open the scoring five minutes into the game, with a shot from Gnabry deflected off Woltemade. However, the referee disallowed the goal for offside after a VAR review.

Eight minutes later, Raum finally scored the first for the Germans with a free kick. At the 21st minute, Carlson handled the ball inside the box and, in addition to the penalty awarded, was sent off. Kimmich took the penalty and converted.

Just three minutes into the second half, Gnabry charged down the right, beat full-back Eric Veiga, and fired high to score the hosts' third. Only two minutes later, Luxembourg's defense got confused during a corner kick and the ball fell to Kimmich, who slotted it into the back of the net.
