The only real chance of scoring in the first 45 minutes was after a strong ball win of the Stuttgart Angelo Stiller, but Martin Dubravka was on hand (32nd). It would have the course of the game against the world ranking 52. also turned upside down. So the lead goal for the Slovaks was overdue. The error chain began at Wirtz and ended with the indisposed Rüdiger when David Strelec and Hancko put the German defensive with simple means.
It was the lowest half in the Nagelsmann era. It couldn’t go on like this. The overwhelmed Collins stayed in the cabin, but the Leipzig David Room came into play, but with Mittelstädt the side. However, the German game wasn’t really better, apart from the goal chance of Leon Goretzka (47th).
Because the defense torso around the overwhelmed Rüdiger was questionable. If Strelec left the second goal with an unplaced shot (54th), the man from FC Middlesbrough did it better a minute later when he danced Rüdiger and put the ball into the corner.
Nagelsmann brought other offensive forces in Nadiem Amiri and Karim Adeyemi, but also the fizzling out. In the storm center, 85 million man Woltemade remained without a punch. Niclas Füllkrug could have helped, but the European Championship striker had to fit at short notice due to a calf injury. There was also a real urge phase. The consternated national coach followed the last minutes with entangled arms.
