Nations League start: Spain ruins Germany’s victory in the 96th minute – sport

• In the second duel of the “Swiss Group”, Germany and Spain were separated in a draw in Stuttgart.
• The Germans lead 1-0 in the 96th minute.
• José Luis Gaya tied with the last attack.

Glee caught in the throats of the Germans. Everyone expected the final whistle in Stuttgart at any moment. The 96th minute had just started when the Spanish ruined their final attack.

• Ferran Torres crosses from the right to the center, where Julian Draxler loses the decisive head duel against Rodrigo. This in turn becomes the perfect template for Gaya, who carries the ball into Germany’s goal from five feet.

The Germans were very unhappy, especially since 4 minutes of stopping time was shown. But due to a foul by Ramos in the German penalty area, referee Daniele Orsato let go longer. “Very annoying” and “a little strange” found Timo Werner, as he did in an interview with ZDF said.

Before the draw, “La Roja” had taken over the dictation of the game and had surrounded the Germans in their own penalty area. It seemed like a deserved victory for Germany for a long time. In the 51st minute, Timo Werner put the hosts ahead after a great performance by Ilkay Gündogan.

Germany best at halftime 1

It was an advantage with an announcement, as Jogi Löw’s team had more game in the first half. There it was mainly 7 minutes.

• 11. Minute: Toni Kroos serves Thilo Kehrer with a buttery flank. Spain goalkeeper David de Gea can scratch his header off the line.
• 14. Minute: Germany goalkeeper Kevin Trapp shoots out of his goal, but fails to separate Rodrigo from the ball. Suddenly, the Leeds striker sees the empty door in front of him. But because he hesitated too much, Trapp solved his mistake himself with one entry.
• 14. Minute: In a direct counterattack, Leroy Sané took out Julian Draxler, who had started deep, from the left. The PSG professional fails with his attempt in the near corner on De Gea.
• 18. Minute: Once again Sané radiates danger. De Gea has a long way to go to direct her movement around the post.

Shortly after the break, the spell was broken. As a result, the Germans pressed in the probably decisive 2-0. Nothing came of it.

Enrique again on the sidelines

It was a special match, especially for the Spanish coach Luis Enrique. For the first time after the tragic death of his daughter († 9), who died of bone cancer about a year ago, he was once again on the sidelines.

So it goes
