The match started in a distinctive way by the Dutch team, who relied on counterattacks and passes behind the constantly advanced German defense, and the first goal came through one of those passes, after Gravenberch passed to Tijani Reinders, who was alone with the German goalkeeper and put the ball in the net.
Dumfries goal prevents Germany from beating Netherlands
Germany managed to equalize in the 38th minute after a perfect attack in which the ball reached Deniz Undav deep in the penalty area, who put the ball into the net and announced the Germans’ equalizer.
Germany continued to excel in attacking work, and Joshua Kimmich succeeded in ending the half with the second goal after an ideal attack in which the ball reached the German midfielder from the left side of the penalty area, who easily put the ball into the net.
However, Germany failed to maintain their lead, conceding a goal early in the second half after a pass from striker Brian Brobbey to Denzel Dumfries, who beat goalkeeper Ter Stegen for the second time.
Despite the many changes made by the coaches, the attackers of the two teams failed to score again, and the match ended in a draw.
