Yellow card for Mats Hummels (Germany)
After winning the ball in the center, the extremely strong Pulišić sends Dest down the left. Hummels rushes up and risks everything with his tackle, which narrowly misses the ball but hits Dest. Of course, that earns him a yellow card.
42.
9:51 p.m
Dest takes another corner against Tah, but again it comes to nothing. Gosens resolutely heads the Pulišić cross out of the danger zone.
39.
9:47 p.m
Tooor for Germany, 1:1 by İlkay Gündoğan
Germany is back in the game and equalizes to 1:1. The goal was clearly attributed to Sané, who started from the right wing, played a one-two with Gündoğan and penetrated into the box and then circled around Turner. However, Turner still gets his hand out, but can only clear the ball to Gündoğan, who effortlessly slams the ball into the net from three meters with his left hand. Everything open again.
38.
9:47 p.m
The automatisms are not yet right for the DFB team. First, Gündoğan and Groß don’t really have a pass-on station and then Musiala simply passes through to the penalty area on suspicion, but is unable to occupy the jug in time at all. Turner safely picks up the leather that runs into nowhere.
35.
9:44 p.m
There is the next dangerous attack from the Stars and Stripes: Weah moves forward from the right and then crosses from the baseline a little too much into the back of the completely free Balogun, who is therefore unable to use the ball. But Tah is too erratic in clearing the ball to Reyna, who takes a follow-up shot from a tight angle. In the follow-up, Ter Stegen is there for the high shot at the near corner.
34.
9:42 p.m
With the lead behind them, it’s now even easier for the US boys, who continue to defend courageously, wait to win the ball and then swarm out as quickly as an arrow. Germany has to invest a lot, but since falling behind they have hardly had any chances in the penalty area.
31.
9:40 p.m
However, Gündoğan’s resting ball from the right is far too long. Rüdiger manages to head the ball from the left, but he only heads it at an opponent.
30.
9:39 p.m
The national team is trying to react, but continues to struggle with the US boys’ well-positioned defense. At least Germany gets another corner kick.
27.
9:36 p.m
Tooor for USA, 1-0 by Christian Pulišić
Now things come to a head and the USA takes a 1-0 lead! At first Füllkrug has a great chance of taking the German lead, but from nine meters he only shoots at Turner, who then initiates the American lead with his long drive. Pulišić marches over the left wing, is not properly attacked, gets closer and closer to the edge of the penalty area and then simply takes a powerful shot with his right when Rüdiger takes the decisive step back. The powerful right-footed shot from the Traumtor brand hits the top right corner.
26.
9:35 p.m
Quite a tricky scene! The Americans counterattack and Weah could do it alone, but passes for the better positioned Pulišić. He goes one-on-one against Ter Stegen, wants to go around the German keeper, moves past him, but then falls to the ground when there is slight contact with the goalkeeper. However, the referee immediately decides to continue play.
25.
9:34 p.m
The US national team wins a corner again. Pulišić takes over again, but the DFB team also retains air sovereignty in their own box in this scene. McKennie can’t reach the cross, which Hummels clears with his head, and the Stars and Stripes can’t get hold of the second ball either.
22.
9:31 p.m
On the other hand, the US boys recovered a bad pass from Rüdiger, whereupon Dest simply tried it from 18 meters. This is also a very grateful ball for ter Stegen, who safely intercepts the central ball.
22.
9:31 p.m
Groß lays it off for Musiala, whose shot from 16 meters is then blocked and lands directly at Füllkrug’s feet. He also shoots directly with his left from 13 meters. However, too central. Turner is down in time and securely holds on to the Dortmund attacker’s left-footed shot.
19.
9:28 p.m
The German selection, which appears very committed, repeatedly loses the leather in dangerous areas. This opens up space for the US boys for the next counterattack. McKennie serves Pulišić, who in turn passes for McKennie. However, his cross, which was pulled towards the second post, sails into the goal.
17.
9:26 p.m
On the other hand, Leroy Sané takes heart after speed dribbling. However, when he takes a left-foot shot from 18 meters, he is too much on his back. The conclusion is a case for the stands.
16.
9:24 p.m
Timothy Weah tries it out from the second row. However, his slightly deflected right-footed shot from 17 meters was a hit for Marc-André ter Stegen, who safely buried the ball under himself.
15.
9:24 p.m
The experienced DFB team then defended the Americans’ resting ball very confidently. Jonathan Tah resolutely beats Christian Pulišić’s cross out of the danger zone.
14.
9:23 p.m
İlkay Gündoğan takes a corner from the left into the American penalty area, where Weston McKennie not only clears it with his head, but also initiates a counterattack by the US boys. Timothy Weah picks up Christian Pulišić, who in turn takes a corner for the Stars and Stripes.
11.
9:20 p.m
Posts for Germany! The bell is almost ringing in the Americans’ box! Pascal Groß takes a shot from 17 meters, but only hits the right post after Wirtz lays it down.
10.
9:19 p.m
The US boys follow up and win a corner while attacking on the right. Hummels then remains the winner in the header duel with Richards and can clear the ball decisively.
9.
9:18 p.m
The first really good chance of the game belongs to the Stars and Stripes. Yunus Musah wins the ball in the center and the ball ends up in three stations to Christian Pulišić, who, under pressure, manages to reach the cross from the right, but does not get the ball down decisively. Marc-André ter Stegen stands well and can safely pick up the very central ball from four meters.
7.
9:16 p.m
The Germans again: Musiala starts from the right, but is increasingly driven through the center to the other side without getting into a finishing position. Ultimately he takes Gosens with him, but his cross goes wide.
7.
9:15 p.m
But a hard-working DFB team has not yet found a gap. Musiala makes his way to the baseline on the right, but doesn’t find a teammate with his flat cross. Overall, the USA are very low and are first looking at how Germany wants to approach the game.
4.
9:13 p.m
Now the ball fidgets in the net for the first time, but the hit doesn’t count. Christian Pulišić starts too early when Weston McKennie throws a long ball deep. The AC Milan attacker’s shot from 15 meters is still worth seeing in the bottom right corner.
1.
9:09 p.m
Kick-off on the American East Coast. The Stars and Stripes wear all blue. Germany is dressed entirely in white. Let’s go.
8:33 p.m
The DFB team has played eleven international matches against the United States so far, not a single match of which has ended in a draw. Germany leads the direct comparison with seven wins (four defeats). However, in the last meeting between the two nations so far there was a defeat. On June 10, 2015, the Stars and Stripes beat Germany 2-1 at the Rheinenergiestadion in Cologne, avenging their previous 1-0 defeat in the preliminary round of the 2014 World Cup.
20:26
Joshua Kimmich, the second youngest national coach in history, also has to do without Joshua Kimmich due to a cold. Pascal Groß, among others, made it into his first starting eleven. Up front, Julian Nagelsmann relies on Niclas Füllkrug, while he quickly answers the question of whether either Florian Wirtz or Jamal Musiala will play by ordering both players into the starting lineup. For Mats Hummels, it is the first international match since June 2021.
20:21
Under Julian Nagelsmann, the DFB team should build on the recent 2-1 win over France, which ended a sobering phase of five international matches in a row without a win (one draw, four defeats), which ultimately also cost Hansi Flick his job. The 36-year-old had a few surprises in store for his nominations, including Robert Andrich, Chris Führich and Kevin Behrens. But none of the debutants made it into the starting line-up.
8:17 p.m
In any case, everything that has rank and name is included in the USA. A few well-known faces from the Bundesliga have also made it into the starting line-up, including captain Christian Pulišić, Gio Reyna, Weston McKennie, Chris Richards and Joe Scally.
20:13
Gregg Berhalter has already successfully made his debut again. The Stars and Stripes won two friendly games against Uzbekistan and Oman at the beginning of September under the 50-year-old returnee, but now face a completely different caliber. During this international break, the USA continues against Ghana next week. Two games that should give an idea of where we stand.
8:07 p.m
There was a recent restart for both nations. While 50-year-old Gregg Berhalter, who played 184 competitive games in Germany between 2002 and 2009 for Energie Cottbus and 1860 Munich, returned to the coaching chair at the Stars and Stripes in the summer, it is the eagerly awaited debut of Julian Nagelsmann at the DFB team , who is supposed to get the national team back on track for the home European Championships next summer.
8:00 p.m
Good evening and welcome from Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut. The US national soccer team will host Germany here today at 9:00 p.m. as part of a friendly match.
