Germany travelled to the Netherlands on Tuesday evening to play their second Nations League group match. The Mannschaft could do no better than a draw (2-2).
The clash of Group 3 of League A of the Nations League, the meeting between the Netherlands and Germany did not disappoint. Or almost. Because despite a sluggish end to the match, the two teams offered a magnificent spectacle for more than an hour. With multiple twists and turns to the key. The public had a great time, even if they had to be content with a final result without a winner (2-2).
Just two minutes after the game kicked off, Tijani Reijnders opened the scoring for the Orange. Madness in the stands of the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam and blows to the heads of the Germans who were jostled and almost stunned. But little by little, Julian Nagelsmann’s men found their football again, the one that had allowed them to atomize Hungary three days earlier (5-0). And it was finally the opportunistic Deniz Undav who reset the counters to zero (1-1, 38th).
The fire went out
But it wasn’t over and just before the break, Joshua Kimmich put the nail in the coffin, giving the visitors a one-goal lead (1-2, 45th + 3). Enough to go into the locker room with a small margin. Too small however, especially since the Netherlands once again started the second half much better than their visitors. As a result, Denzel Dumfries equalized five minutes after the restart (2-2, 50th).
And then the fire slowly went out. On both sides. Visibly tired from having given so much for an hour and a quarter, the two teams finally settled for a share of the points (2-2). In the standings, Germany remains ahead of its opponent of the evening, whom it is ahead of on goal difference. Behind them, follow Bosnia-Herzegovina and Hungary, who also did not manage to separate themselves this Tuesday (0-0).
