In the classic against England, everything looked like a furious victory for Germany. But then the leaf turned dramatically.
The German U19 national team had to accept a setback at the European Championship in Romania. Despite an interim 5-1 lead, the DFB team did not get beyond a 5: 5 draw against England.
Noah Darvich brought the German team in the lead in the seventh minute and Said El Mala increased to 2: 0 in the 31st minute. After Joshua King’s connection goal (35th minute), the Germans really turned up. Max Moerstedt (41.), Leopold Wurm (44th) and again El Mala (48th) seemed to make the game clear. But then the break -in followed. By hits from Ethan Wheatley (52nd), Reiss-Alexander Russell-Denny (55th), Zach Abbott (60th) and Jesse Shaun Derry (63.), England equalized within eleven minutes.
As a result, an open exchange of blows developed for the victory, which no team could win for themselves. Due to the draw, the DFB team no longer has the progress in its own hands. In the last group game, the team needs a victory against Norway, while England is not allowed to win against the Netherlands to get on.
