Summary of the match between Germany and Spain

Spain snatched a fatal draw from its host Germany in the match that brought the two teams together this Thursday in Stuttgart on the first day of Group Four of the first category of the second edition of the European League of Nations football competition.

Forward Timo Werner scored the goal for Germany in the 51st minute and José Gaia equalized for Spain in the sixth minute of the calculated time, rather than losing.

The two teams played the match in the absence of more than one main player, as Spain was deprived of the services of Marco Asensio due to a knee injury, Adama Traore and Mikel Oriazabal due to contagion of the Covid-19 virus, while the Germany coach Joachim Low decided to rest Bayern Munich’s giant goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and Serge Gnabry Joshua Kimmisch and Leon Goritska after winning the Champions League title, while Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen failed due to a knee operation.

This game was the first for Spain coach Luis Enrique since his return to the head of the coaching staff last November for a second period after the first between July 2018 and June 2019, after which he decided to stop due to illness of his daughter and her subsequent death.
