Goalscorer Stange strikes again: Germany U19 march into semi-finals! | OneFootball

The German national team also won its second match at the U19 Euros. Otto Stange once again played a key role.

The homegrown HSV talent had already scored twice in the opening game. He added to that on Wednesday evening in the clash with hosts Wales. After a wonderful pass from Mamuzah Lum, Stange scored the decisive 3:0 in the 58th minute, calmly finishing into the left corner over keeper Logan Stretch. Shortly before that, he had already caught the eye with a strong individual move. Stretch saved his first effort, and the follow-up hit the side netting.

Stange was once again heavily involved overall and recorded 24 touches in 72 minutes before making way for Jykese Fields. The substitute made it 4:0 in stoppage time. The opening goal had been scored by Francis Onyeka, who later also missed a penalty, while Montrell Culbreath made it 0:2 with a header after half an hour. The cross was delivered by Moritz Reimers, a former Hamburg player who has been under contract with Holstein Kiel since July 1.

Stange can follow in his buddy Selke’s footsteps

Thanks to the comfortable win, the team coached by Christian Wörns booked its place in the semifinals early. On Saturday (3:00 p.m., live on Sportdigital, RTL+/RTL Sport on YouTube), they face Spain, who beat both Wales and Denmark by even bigger margins. Germany therefore needs three points in its first real test to secure top spot.

At the same time, Stange is in a battle with José Antonio Morante (Real Betis II), the only other player in the tournament so far to have also scored three goals. The main focus, however, is on winning Germany’s first European title since 2014. Back then, a certain Davie Selke finished as the tournament’s top scorer with six goals, and Stange is well known to have built a close bond with him during Hamburg’s promotion season.
