🚨 First goal and moment of magic: Germany avoid another disaster | OneFootball

The German national team also struggled for a long time against Northern Ireland. After the defeat in Slovakia, it briefly looked like a second debacle against the 71st-ranked team in the world was looming in Cologne. But thanks to a debut goal and a stroke of genius, the DFB team was spared.

Serge Gnabry gave Germany an early lead (7'), but Isaac Price equalized for the Northern Irish before halftime (34'). After that, Julian Nagelsmann's team struggled for a long time until substitute Nadiem Amiri broke the deadlock from close range (69'). It was the first international goal in the ninth appearance for the Mainz midfielder.

Just two minutes later came the next highlight. Florian Wirtz sealed the 3-1 final score with a direct free kick.
