In a lively game, Germany opens the scoring, but sees Harry Kane score in the end and is only in the draw against England; Kalvin Phillips left injured
This Tuesday, the 7th, Germany and England faced each other, at Allianz Arena, for the second round of the group stage of Nations League. After an eventful first half, with injuries, disallowed goals and excellent saves by the goalkeepers, the Germans needed just five minutes of the second half to open the scoring, with Hofmann. In the final stretch, Kane scored, from a penalty, and guaranteed the tie: 1 to 1!
RANKS:
GERMANY: Neuer; Klostermann, Rudiger and Schlotterbeck; Hofmann, Kimmich, Gundogan and Raum; Muller, Musiala and Havertz // ENGLAND: Pickford, Walker, Maguire and Stones; Trippier, Phillips, Rice and Saka; Mount, Sterling and Kane.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:
THE GAME!
The first half between Germany and England was extremely balanced. In the first few minutes, midfielder Kalvin Phillips ended up falling on the pitch in pain after colliding with Schlotterbeck, and needed medical attention. As soon as he returned to the pitch, in the 12th minute, he sat down again and, at the same moment, Müller covered Pickford and scored a beautiful goal, but the referee had already stopped the game for another service to the Englishman.
Germany scored again in the 22nd minute, but again the goal was not allowed. Schlotterbeck threw the defense, the ball passed Havertz and Maguire in dispute in the middle of the field and left clean for Hofmann who, with the free field, took off and moved Pickford and swung the nets. However, the linesman marked offside in the bid.
The first stage was electrifying until the final minutes. In the 44th minute, Kimmich took a corner to the second post, Schlotterbeck straightened his head and Kane cleared it. On the rebound, Havertz played and Musiala came in kicking, but Pickford slotted in. England responded in the next move! Mount regained possession in the attack and played for Saka from the right side of the area attack. The winger cut to the left foot, kicked hard and Neuer flattened out! 0 to 0!

Right after the break, Germany needed five minutes to score, but this time it was on! Kimmich received with freedom in the middle and played first for Hofmann, who dominated by turning and kicking hard. Pickford even touched the ball, but couldn’t avoid Germany’s goal: 1-0!
The game continued lively, with chances for both sides. Until, at 39, Grealish played looking for Sterling, the ball deflected in the marking, Kane runs after it and ended up knocked down. And after reviewing the VAR the referee awarded the penalty! In the kick, the Tottenham striker displaced Neuer with a cross kick, in the right corner, and tied the game for England in the end. 1 to 1!
