🔥 Group winners secured, Germany march on at the small-sided Euros | OneFootball

Following the 7:1 win this morning against the Czech Republic, the evening saw the team face Albania directly. There, the German selection managed to assert themselves with a 2:1 win, thus securing the group victory.

Things started well for Germany: Winkel scored in the 5th minute after a cross pass into the empty goal. Giardini followed up in the 7th minute. He caught a misplaced pass and shot the ball into the goal with his first touch.

The first half was very solid, and Germany convinced. Expert Marc Müller expressed his disappointment over the performance of the Albanians.

The second half was more passive, and the lead was managed. In the 33rd minute, it became exciting when Kodra, known from the Baller League, took a free kick. This was parried brilliantly by Betz, but the third follow-up shot landed in the net.

So it got exciting again, but in the end, it's "an absolutely deserved win" for the German national team, as small-field legend Kim Sippel emphasized.

Tomorrow at 6:00 PM, the last group match against Turkey will take place. You can follow this live on Twitch.
