After the European Championship on home soil, where the Germans failed to make it past the quarter-finals, the Bundesteam’s squad was seriously overhauled. First of all, well-deserved veterans left: goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, midfielders Toni Kroos and Ilkay Gundogan, as well as striker Thomas Müller. Coach Julian Nagelsmann was forced to initiate a minor restructuring, but the result has not yet been affected.
Germany left Euro 2024 participants Hungary with no chance, sending five unanswered goals into their own net. Niklas Füllkrug, Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, Aleksandar Pavlovich and Kai Havertz scored from the penalty spot.
In the parallel match in Group 3 of League A, the Netherlands defeated Bosnia 5-2 at home with great difficulty. The last two goals for Orange were scored late in the 88th and 92nd minutes.
The other matches of the day had the following results: Armenia – Latvia – 4:1, Georgia – Czech Republic – 4:1, Moldova – Malta – 2:0, Ukraine – Albania – 1:2, Greece – Finland – 3:0, Ireland – England – 0:2.
