Mid-term conclusion:
After 45 minutes, Oman and Germany are 0-0 in the dressing room. As expected, the DFB-Elf had a lot of ball possession from the start, but initially found it difficult in general in the game and especially in creating clear goal chances. The hosts defended compactly and kept looking for a way forward with quick switching games. So far, however, Neuer has not had to intervene. Meanwhile, Havertz (16th) and Moukoko (45th + 1) had the best chances of the game for the favorite. In any case, the lead for the German team was possible, but it still ended with a goalless draw at half-time. See you soon!
45
18:48
Big chance for Germany! Raum sensitively crosses to the far post from the left, where Moukoko takes the ball from the air and creates space with a hook. From seven meters, the attacker puts the ball on the right post!

Flick has to change to restart after the drinking break. Klostermann seems to have some problems after the long injury break and has to leave the field. Bella-Kotchap comes into play and moves into central defence, Kehrer takes over the right side of defence.

28
18:30
Al Yahmadi takes a free-kick from the right half-field towards the penalty spot where Al Sabhi climbs up. However, his header goes over the crossbar to the left.

But things will continue for the Freiburger.
25
18:27
Ginter gets a full shot from Al Saadi in the face. The central defender remains on the ground and has to be treated.
23
18:25
The German team is still struggling to break the hosts’ defensive block. Oman has been doing well so far and is always looking for a way into the offensive with fast counterattacks.
20
18:21
Goretzka moves from the center to the left to Sané, who briefly presents the ball and tries to finish from 23 meters. But his attempt goes well over the bar.
17
18:19
Shortly thereafter, Hofmann tried it, aiming just past the left of the goal from a distance.
16
18:18
Now Germany has the first top chance! After a nice combination on the right, Goretzka claps the ball into Havertz’s barrel, who has a clear shot from ten meters. Al Mukhaini wipes the low shot but strong from the right corner.
15
18:17
Good counterattack chance for Oman. Al Alawi is sent steeply down the left and moves into the center against Kehrer. However, his shot from almost 14 meters goes a long way to the right.

Oman’s coach is Branko Ivanković. The Croatian coached Hannover 96 from July 1999 to February 2000. The 68-year-old has been the national coach of Oman since March 2020.
17:30
Due to the short preparation for the World Cup, the game today is less of a dress rehearsal for the DFB team. In view of the high physical strain on the players, Flick currently has to pay more attention to which player he should give a break. Incidentally, the only test match between the two nations took place in 1998. Back then, Germany won 2-0 thanks to goals from Kohler and Heinrich.
17:16
Let’s take a look at the line-up of the German team: In the starting eleven, Flick relies directly on youngster Moukoko in the top striker. At 17 years and 361 days, the attacker is the youngest debutant in the national team since Uwe Seeler in 1954. The national coach relies on Klostermann on the right defensive side, who can still gain match practice before the World Cup.
17:06
The preparation for this Winter World Cup is not normal, the schedule before this tournament is very tight. From everyday league work last weekend, the German team went straight to the Persian Gulf to get the finishing touches before the World Cup in Qatar. “It’s important to be there before things really get going. To take the time of day, but also the temperature,” said national coach Hansi Flick, explaining why the DFB team is making a stopover in Oman. Part of this stop is tonight’s first and only test match before the start of the World Cup against the national team of Oman.
16:57
Welcome to the international match between Oman and Germany! In the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex, the DFB team is testing for the last time before the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. Kick-off is at 6 p.m.
