That is clear. With well over 50 percent of all votes, Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musiala win the goal of the month of March.
Just seven entries in the “co -productions” category in 54 years of goal of the month so far. Statistically speaking, there was a hit in this extremely rare category every eight years, in which both goal scorers and preparers are awarded the traditional gold medal of the sports show. Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich are now the eighth duo that shares the title – and in fact, this time even three medals would have to be distributed.
The third man
Because the only 15 -year -old Noel Urbaniack did a very special preparatory work at this goal. It does not play for the German national team, but for the B-youth at Hombrucher SV and is not in the field against Italy, but next to it. His club coach had ensured that urbanias and three teammates were allowed to be ball boys at the classic Germany – Italy.
“Sometimes you need such boys to win games,” says Kimmich with a broad grin in an interview after the game and means the lightning -fast reaction of the ball boy in front of a corner in the 36th minute.
Discussing Italians, ice -cold Germans
The Italians, including goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, are used to discuss emotionally and expressively with referee Szymon Marciniak. Kimmich wants to run the corner quickly, searches for a ball. Urbaniack recognizes the situation immediately and immediately throws the ball towards the international. Kimmich kicks the corner, Musiala is completely free in front of the orphaned Italian gate and pushes the ball into the mesh casually and ice cold. Shock rigid. All eyes are aimed at the man in black. Marciniak does not hesitate for a second, whistles and points to the center. Goal.
Over 150,000 people voted for the hussar prank of Musiala, Kimmich and Urbaniack. Ragnar Ache from the 1st FC Kaiserslautern and Artur Voilenko from Rot-Weiß Erfurt landed well behind in second and third place.
The third TDM for Kimmich
This is a total of 68th goal of the month for players in the jersey of the German national team. The first achieved Gerd Müller in June 1972, the last one came from Niklas Füllkrug in June 2024.
For Joshua Kimmich it is already the third golden TDM medal, the first award for Jamal Musiala.
