The thrill of 6 goals spread England-Germany

 

After three matches, England did not come back to win. A great story of a comeback against Germany was never written. On the other hand, Germany, who took a 2-goal lead in the beginning, could not leave the field with victory. The two teams had to be content with a 3-3 draw in a thrilling match.

 In the UEFA Nations League match at Wembley, after a sloppy first half, the fight intensified in the second half. Germany took control of the match before scoring 2 goals in 67 minutes. England fans may have been expecting another loss.

However, the 'Three Lions' returned to the match by scoring 2 goals in 4 minutes. The English did not stop to equalize, Harry Kane gave the lead to the team with a penalty goal. But England could not hold that lead in the end due to their weak defense. The game ended in a draw.

Being winless in 5 consecutive matches, England was under a lot of pressure before this match. The effect of that pressure could be seen in their own play in the first half. Germany is not doing well like England. They also could not take advantage at the beginning of the match. Neither team scored in the first half.

 The real thrill of the match, however, awaited in the second half, which began with a hilarious blunder by Harry Maguire. First, Maguire lost possession of the ball, then the Manchester United defender fouled Aguan Jamal Musiala inside the D box. Ikai Gundogan made no mistake to score from the penalty.

Kai Havertz hit the target with a curved shot from outside the D box in the 67th minute before this goal was cut short. After Germany went ahead by 2 goals, it seemed that the English were waiting for another one-sided defeat. Germany could have widened the gap had they not missed a few easy chances in short order.

 However, despite falling behind by 2 goals, England did not give up. They came back to the match with 2 goals in 71 and 75 minutes. Luke Shaw, unguarded in the D box, reduced the gap first for the English. 4 minutes later, Mason Mount, who came on as a substitute, equalized the team with a great goal from Bucayo Soccer's pass. In the 83rd minute, Kane gave the English the lead from the penalty.

The English started to dream of winning after five matches. But that dream is broken by their own forgetfulness. In the 87th minute, Nabri's shot missed the goalkeeper Nico Pope's hand, and Havertz returned the ball to the net and tied the ball for Germany. Both teams have to leave the field in this equality.

Through this, England-Germany played the last international match before the World Cup. However, this preparation will definitely worry the two teams before entering the World Cup. England remained winless in the last six matches.

Germany also did not win in their last two matches. They also drew with England after losing to Hungary. Now it remains to be seen whether these two teams can turn around in the World Cup.
