The German national soccer team did not go beyond a draw in the second game of the Nations League group stage against Switzerland. At 3: 3 (1: 2), national coach Joachim Löw’s team revealed defensive problems in particular. Mario Gavranovic with a double (5th, 56th) and Remo Freuler (26th) scored for “Nati”, Timo Werner (28th), Kai Havertz (55th) and Serge Gnabry (60th) for the DFB Eleven.
However, the German defensive construction did not really stabilize. On the contrary: after problems with the coordination between the fallen Joshua Kimmich and Ginter, Xherdan Shaqiri reached the end of the six-yard area, Manuel Neuer directed the shot hard to the corner (4th). The next corner put the Swiss advantage: Robin Gosens headed a cross from the penalty area, but the ball was returned directly. As Rüdiger and Kimmich canceled the offside and Neuer stayed on the line and looked bad, Gavrinovic headed over him and entered the goal (5th).
German nervous play structure
The commotion at the start of the game resulted in a nerve-racking game for the DFB team. Neuer got stuck with a casual pass to Haris Seferovic, who initially went only on goal, but was stopped by Rüdiger in dire need (17th). After a bad pass in the center line of the jubilee Toni Kroos, who played his 100th international match, the Swiss reached the next goal: Rüdiger rushed out of the rest of the defense and left only Freuler, who had left in the direction of the penalty area . The Swiss was served by Seferovic on the right in the penalty area and lifted over the hurried newcomer (26th).
Havertz was responsible for Germany’s response: the 20-year-old beat Fabian Schär hard in the opposite half and removed Werner, who started on the left in the penalty area, who completed the far angle against the direction by goalkeeper Yann Sommer (28th). In the second half, Havertz caught a technically strong Schär mid-high pass from the air, slipped into the penalty area and pushed before the summer (55th).
However, defensive problems could not conceal their own goals: just seconds after the draw, Seferovic missed twice after a combination to Neuer, but Gavranovic from the back area fired a tremendous shot on the third down (56th). Kimmich had previously failed to clear the ball from the six-yard box. On the other side, Gnabry pushed a Werner cross with his heel into the far corner (60th). But it was not enough for more. In added time, Schär saw yellow and red.
