The German national team is spared an exhausting extra -intensity in the game for third place in the Nations League in a draw.
Should there be no winner against Vice World Champion France in Stuttgart after 90 minutes on Sunday (3 p.m., Live on Sportschau.de), it goes directly to the penalty shootout. The otherwise common extension at tournaments is eliminated. This was announced by the European Football Union (UEFA) on Saturday.
However, the regulation only applies to the “small” final. Should there be no winner after the regular season in the final between European champion Spain and Germany converter Portugal (9 p.m.) in Munich, the encounter will be extended by 2×15 minutes.
