The German U21 also won its second group game at the European Championship in Slovakia and thus certainly reached the quarter -finals.
With the 4: 2 (2: 0) on Sunday in Dunajská Streda against the Czech Republic, Germany now has six points in the account and can no longer be replaced by the first two places in the remaining games. Germany will either meet Spain or Italy on Saturday in Trnava or on Sunday in Dunajská Streda. In the last group game in Nitra, the German team will play against England for the group victory on Wednesday (9 p.m.), which only reached a 0-0 against Slovenia on Sunday.
Nicolo Tresoldi (35th), Paul Nebel (41.), Nick Woltemade (54.) and Eric Martel (58th) met for the German team. An own goal of Bright Arrey-MBI (60th) and a hit by Karel Spáčil (66.) then led to the end result.
“If you win both games and also shoot a lot of goals, it gives confidence. We are on the right track”, said scorer Paul Nebel at Sat.1: “That was a good performance by the whole team – even if the two goals conceded us.”
Germany leads 4-0, the Czech Republic comes back
Germany quickly came to the first degree, but Nebel shot Woltemades filing over the gate (3rd). The best chances initially had the Czech Republic: Patrik Vydra shot from 20 meters volley on goal, goalkeeper Noah Atubolu parried the ball (32nd).

Tresoldi then scored for the lead after Namdi Collins had played the ball in the penalty area sharply (35th). Fog increased a little later: Woltemade prevailed on the right, kept an overview and alluded to the completely free fog (41.). Brajan Gruda almost increased to 3-0, but only hit the post (45.+1).
After the break, the German team provided clarity: Rocco Reitz flanked from the right half field, Woltemade climbed up and headed the ball into the goal (54th). The Czech Republic came up again: Bright Arrey-MBI caused the first German goal at this European Championship with an own goal in a clarification shower. Karel Spáčil scored the 2: 4 from a Czech point of view.
