Germany vs Bosnia-Herzegovina
“Dream football”: Watch highlights of the 7-0 goal display here
A big night for the German national team. Led by Jamal Musiala, they deal with Bosnia-Herzegovina under siege. Watch all the highlights in the video here.
With fun and greed to record goals and win the group: The national team delighted its fans with another great football festival in the last home game of the year and gave Julian Nagelsmann the biggest win so far as national coach . Jamal Musiala as the new header monster with a lightning strike after only 80 seconds, Tim Kleindienst (23rd minute) with his first international goal and Kai Havertz (37th) already scored in the 7-0 (3-0) victory against Bosnia-Herzegovina . in the first half for clear conditions.
Florian Wirtz (50th and 57th) with a brace, Leroy Sané (67th) and again Kleindienst (79th) who got Germany’s biggest victory in the League of Nations in euphoric football in sold out Europa Park Stadium in Freiburg with 28,143 spectators -Evening . perfect The last time Germany won higher was three years ago under Hansi Flick when they beat Liechtenstein 9-0.
Even before the trip to Budapest for the final group game against Hungary on Tuesday, victory in the group in the UEFA competition that Nagelsmann had declared as a goal was confidently completed. The positive effect of first place: In the quarter-finals in March, captain Joshua Kimmich and Co. fighting against the European champions in Spain or Portugal for Cristiano Ronaldo. Nagelsmann will find out next Friday who will be the last opponent on the way to the finals in June.
However, the national team does not need to fear any opponent like this anyway. The Bosnia-Herzegovina A-League league under coach Sergej Barbarez felt merciless. After the lesson in fun football, Nagelsmann replaced a quartet around Musiala and Wirtz after almost 60 minutes to relax the game. There was no break in the German game.
First fog, then celebration: goal after 80 seconds
The eleven players sent on the field by the national coach knew exactly what they had to do from the first minute. “We are on the right track. And they did.
He must have at least expected to be able to celebrate the DFB team’s first goal after less than two minutes. The thick fog in Freiburg, which severely limited visibility when we arrived, had almost completely disappeared and the German fans in the audience had a clear view of Musiala’s famous early header.
The ball landed at Kimmich over several stops. The Bayern professional, who tackled Berti Vogts in his 96th international cap, stepped into the middle for his club-mate in Munich. And there was no need to ask: Musiala rose in the air and brilliantly headed the ball into the goal from eight or nine metres. Only 1:20 minutes were played.
Bosnia-Herzegovina, which suffered its sixth defeat in its seventh game under ex-Bundesliga professional Barbarez and managed to only draw a game, did not make things easy for the hosts, at least tactically. The visitors retreated far into their own half. Stuttgart attacker Ermedin Demirovic, who replaced captain Edin Dzeko, who had become reliable on the bench, was almost unable to distinguish himself offensively.
Havertz’s first goal from the game since early June
But a small Gladbach service. After the Bosnians tried to defend, the ball landed at Robert Andrich. Kleindienst gave his shot another change of direction with a small but subtle touch – straight into the goal. After being on a rollercoaster ride at Europa-Park during the week, things only went downhill for the guests this time. The German team acted too confident, too clear, too confident in their last home appearance, which was intended to further heighten the mood.
And that’s what he did: Havertz three times, Musiala once, despite the defensive tactics of the visitors, the German team enthusiastically continued to create chances. The fact that goalkeeper Oliver Baumann easily stood up to a shot from Nail Omerovic (34th) in one of the few opposition attacks at his old place of work and that he succeeded brilliantly against Holstein Kiel’s Armin Gigovic shortly before half-time was a success over the top with him. German football evening.

Event on untouchable
Especially when Havertz also scored. A wonderful combination arose. For Havertz, after three penalties, it was the first goal from the game in the DFB jersey since June 7 in the 2-1 European Championship test against Greece. Wirtz didn’t want to lose either and scored a few minutes after the break. Visiting goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj from FC St. Petersburg did not look good. Pauli when the free kick was taken – especially since he had recently conceded another goal from Musiala in the league.
Matthäus’ verdict: “the German team plays dream football”
Wirtz then doubled the score with a shot before he and Musiala replaced him to clap and found a visibly pleased Nagelsmann on the sidelines. “The German team is playing dream football today,” encouraged the recorded national player Lothar Matthäus before the next goals were scored. In his first international game since leaving the European Championship, Sané was there just minutes after coming on for Musiala before Kleindienst scored again.
