🤯 Undav answers on the pitch: three goal involvements v Finland! | OneFootball

Let’s put it this way: the first roughly 30 minutes of the DFB team’s penultimate warm-up match before the World Cup against Finland, in front of a home crowd in Mainz, were so exciting that some users on ‘x’ preferred going through tomorrow’s shopping list instead of watching what was happening on TV.

Despite the highly talented trio in the attacking positions – made up of Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, and youngster Lennart Karl – the match was veeeerrry short on highlights (apart from two chances for Deniz Undav that went unused).

At least until just now. Deniz Undav then seemed to remember that, despite being called up to the squad, he still has a point to prove – for example, convincing the national team coach that he can help from the start and not just as a late substitute.

Missed chances won’t do that; the best way is with a goal. After a quickly taken corner from Karl to his Bayern teammate Kimmich, the full-back delivered a perfect cross into the six-yard box. Deniz Undav was exactly where a striker needs to be and headed it into the left side of the net (34’).

So it’s now 1-0, and since the goal there have been a few signs suggesting there’s definitely still more to come.

Of course, we hope Undav and co. keep it up now – otherwise that ‘x’ user might have their shopping lists for the entire rest of the year finished by the end of the match.

Shortly after the break, though, it really looked like things would continue that way - Undav picked up another goal contribution, setting up Wirtz for the 2-0 (48’), and apparently has absolutely no intention of slowing down today. Not even ten minutes later, he finished off a brilliant counterattack set up by wonderkid Karl to make it 3-0 - brace! 

For now, though, that was it. After his goal, Undav had to come off, apparently carrying an injury.
