Germany has to increase again, after the good starting phase they fell back to Slovakia mode. Northern Ireland has returned.

Tooor for Northern Ireland, 1-1 by Isaac Price
Something like this has indicated, but it is a cold shower for Germany. A corner from the right brings Devenny far to the second post, where Price has loosened from Gnabry and is free to conclude. His direct acceptance from six meters is unsustainable for Baumann under the crossbar, which is a really great goal.
32.
21:20
Under the structure, Rüdiger hides the leather, then Kimmich plays sloppy. Such unrest sneaked into German game.
31.
21:19
A standard from left can be found on the second post McNair, which can also put the ball towards the box. However, since Rüdiger is well harassed, the play equipment goes clearly over it.
29.
21:17
What Northern Ireland offers here is quite impressive, the guests get a lot out of their possibilities. They have survived the German print phase and now dare to go forward.
26.
21:13
Yellow card for Antonio Rüdiger (Germany)
Price puts the leather past Rüdiger, but then crashes into his body. Since this could be a good situation, the German defender sees the first yellow card of the game.
25.
21:13
Since the guests keep trying to get into the pressing relatively high, Germany behind it gets rooms. These are not yet finally played.
23.
21:11
With a long ball, Groß Leweling sends the right to the baseline. McCann can just clarify his flat return by tackle in front of Woltemade.
20.
21:07
The German team pushes in Northern Ireland deep in the back, now completely has the game under control. Several standards fizzle out ineffective.
18.
21:05
A flank from space from left to the second post gives Gnabry back in the middle. Again, Woltemade does not end because he is consistently addressed. But maybe something is missing.
15.
21:03
The German team comes forward through the switching game. Kimmich collects a free ball on the right gnabry to the sixteen. He is looking for with a flat pass in the middle of Woltemade, which also comes to the play equipment, but is then stopped by three defenders. Maybe the striker should have pulled off directly.
12.
21:00
Every now and then it plays Germany at the back, but Kimmich now gets a pass from Anton processed. The guests go up on a lot of it.
10.
20:58
The leadership did not appear directly, but the German team came in very differently than against Slovakia. The timely hardness is there immediately. However, there is not much that comes from Northern Ireland, but that was not to be expected otherwise.

20:53
Tooor for Germany, 1-0 by Serge Gnabry
The German team has its dream start. Woltemade gets the ball in the center in a duel in the course of Gnabry, which is robustly assumed by Devenny and can therefore penetrate the sixteen alone. In front of Peacock-Farrell alone, the Munich stays ice cold and lifts the leather into the net.
5.
20:53
Afterwards, Groß rushes in on a flank in Peacock-Farrell. After a short break, the keeper can continue.
4.
20:52
After a conquest in midfield, Woltemade takes the right in the sixteen Gnabry. However, his cross then sticks to TOAL.
2.
20:50
The right side belongs to Leweling today in the German three or five chain. A long ball from Anton on the Stuttgart device that started.

20:47
Then the ball is already rolling. Northern Ireland initiated.

Start of the game
20:40
At that moment, the teams are entering the lawn together with referee Espen Eskas from Norway. The game can start in a few minutes.
20:26
The two nations have already met several times, but mostly in qualifying games like today. Germany almost always had the better end for itself, most recently in the qualification for the European Championship in 2019. 2-0 and 6: 1 are the Northern Irish, especially the latter result would be balm for the battered football soul at the 2014 world champion. By the way, Mats Hummels is honored for his national elevator.
20:15
Because the opponent, the team from Northern Ireland, can play reasonably freely. You already have three points in your pocket due to a relatively safe 3: 1 against Luxembourg, and there is only extra counters against the big favorites Germany anyway. Except for a good phase, when you took part in the World Cup both in 1982 and in 1986, only in 1958 is still on the Northern Irish note. Accordingly, after a big tournament, although a qualification for the USA, Canada and Mexico is already a sensation.
20:07
The German team is based on the debacle, so you can recently put the 0: 2 in Slovakia under a lot of pressure. It will not only be a good result to finally take a trip in the qualification for the 2026 World Cup and to avoid the playoffs, or even miss a complete one. Because it will also arrive in the way after the bloodless appearance on Thursday. Nagelsmann had already questioned the mentality of one or the other actor immediately afterwards and demanded more commitment and will. Against a deep and strong opponent who is ready to suffer today and walking across the border, this applies even more to today.
19:50
At the beginning we want to take a look at the lists. At Germany, coach Julian Nagelsmann exchanges a lot, which could be expected after the weak appearance on Thursday and was also announced. Collins, Tah, Mittelstädt, Goretzka and Stiller have to give way for Anton, Koch, Room, Groß and Leweling. This means that there is almost a completely new chain on the lawn. On the other hand, coach Michael O’Neill trusts the same eleven as last. So it is again a three-way or five-fighter chain that will certainly be defending deeply today. The best known actor may be Conor Bradley from Liverpool FC on the right. Otherwise, the eleven has a brutal gradient, in addition to Premier League players, kickers from the League One, the third English division, also sort themselves.
19:49
Welcome to the 2nd matchday of the World Cup qualification in Group A, Germany and Northern Ireland face each other. The impetus in the Rhein-Energie Stadium in Cologne is at 8:45 p.m.!
