The newcomer to the national team returned Germany hope for the World Cup. I flashed the goalkeeper and saved the team! Video

Another day of the tournament in Qatar presented the fans with one of the brightest matches of the group stage.

If on Saturday football fans began to get used to the idea that the favorites are in perfect order and the sensations are over, then on Sunday the situation turned upside down again. The Japanese team, which had previously dealt with the formidable Germans, unexpectedly lost to the Costa Rica team, which ingloriously failed the match against Spain. The bronze medalists of the World Championship, the Belgians lost dry to the Moroccans. If not for the canceled ball, it could even come to a rout!

Croatia refused to be among the losing favorites – having conceded the fastest goal in the tournament, the team nevertheless achieved a strong-willed victory. However, the most anticipated match of the day was the confrontation between Spain and Germany, which decided the fate of the German team. The Bundestim was close to failure, but at the very end, the newcomer of the national team scored a saving goal.

Niklas brought back hope to Germany!

Tricky free kick Sabiri

Belgium – Morocco, 0:1, 73rd minute.

The Belgian national team, as befits the favorite, had a territorial advantage, but at the same time could not convert scoring chances. The Moroccan team also failed to set unsolvable tasks for Thibault Courtois for the time being. At the end of the first half, Hakim Ziyech hit the gate, but the referee canceled the goal. But in the 73rd minute, the referee failed to find fault with the actions of the Africans. The Atlas Lions were entitled to a set-piece at a point convenient for a cross into the penalty area, but not the most obvious for a shot. The cunning Abdelhamid Sabiri decided to do without a draw and, without any extra wisdom, spun into the goal. True, they recorded a beautiful goal in the end for Roman Seiss – he barely touched the ball, but this was enough for the FIFA experts.

Masterful Füllkrug

Spain – Germany, 1:1, 83rd minute.

Minutes melted away, and with them the hopes of the German team to reach the next stage of the tournament. The coaching staff of the Bundesteam hastily made substitutions, hoping that something would come of it. And at the end of the meeting, one of the players managed to justify the trust. A German counter-attack brought the ball to the penalty area, where Niklas Füllkrug appeared to be by chance. But the newcomer of the national team ended up in the center forward position intentionally and skillfully performed his main function – he scored a goal, practically flashing the goalkeeper, and gave hope to the whole of Germany.
