Germany is U17 world champion – victory against France when they are outnumbered

Premiere title

Germany’s U17 footballers are world champions! Coach Christian Wück’s DFB team won the final against France on penalties after a 2-2 draw in regular time. It is the first World Cup title in this age group for Germany.

The goals were scored by BVB talent Paris Brunner with a penalty in the 29th minute and Noah Darvich, who moved from SC Freiburg to FC Barcelona for a fee of 2.5 million euros, in the 51st minute. Less than two minutes later, Saïmon Bouabré from AS Monaco scored the goal before Germany’s Winners Osawe from RB Leipzig was sent off with a yellow-red card in the 69th minute.

As a result, the French took the game into their own hands and increased the pressure on the DFB talents – in the 85th minute, Saint-Étienne’s Mathis Amougou scored the deserved equalizer. The ten minutes of stoppage time created opportunities for both sides, but the decision would come from the spot. With another better ending for the DFB. The hero in the penalty shootout was once again goalkeeper Konstantin Heide from SpVgg Unterhaching, who shone in the semi-final against Argentina. Heide made two saves before BVB’s Almugera Kabar put the decisive penalty into the net. The DFB team won the European Championship final at the beginning of June 2023 on penalties against the French.
