HUNGARY 1-1 GERMANY

—

Neuer and his teammates draw in Hungary and Mancini’s Italy holds the top of Lega A group 3 tightly. In the away match in Budapest, coach Flick relies on forward Werner, supported by Musiala and Havertz. In the first 10 ‘there is fun: Hungary immediately took the lead with a shot from Zsolt Nagy, who uses a Neuer rebound to kick on goal. Three minutes passed and Hofmann equalized the scores: Gulacsi came out of the goalposts, the German took advantage of it, jumps him and supports the net. At 1-1 the pace slows down, before the break Neuer saves the result with a great save on Fiola. In the second half, Germany pushed but wasted: in the 72nd minute Hofmann and Werner did not understand each other and missed a goal that seemed to have already been scored. The Germans thus remain at zero victories in this Nations League, bringing home the third consecutive draw.

The Barcelona striker drags the Netherlands towards the reversal, but in the recovery the appointment with the 3-2 is missing: in the 91 ‘he hits the post with a penalty kick, in the 92’ he tries again with a gored. Skoruspki reaches out and tells him no, putting the signature on the final 2-2.
