What happened in the game?

For a long time, it looked like a bitter evening. But in the 60th minute, Julian Nagelsmann (38) made the right decision. The national coach brings in Undav, Amiri, and Leweling for Musiala, Sané, and Pavlović. A substitution that changes everything.

The decisive moment

Eight minutes later, the spell is broken. Amiri crosses from the right side, and Undav volleys the ball into the net – the 1-1 equalizer (68th minute). What follows is pure ecstasy. In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Nmecha passes to Undav, who remains calm and scores the 2-1 winner.
