Germany snatched a draw against Switzerland thanks to a goal scored in added time (1-1) to finish first in their group after the third day of Euro 2024.

Switzerland, which was still leading until the 93rd minute of the match, nevertheless qualified for the round of 16 of the Euro 2024, where she could find Italy. The scenario is cruel for the Nati which had until then executed a plan without a hitch, plunging an entire country into an abyss of perplexity.

But it seems that Julian Nagelsmann's players are too keen to reissue, in 2024, their summer fairy tale of 2006 during which Germany took over. #39;was advanced to the semi-finals and to third place for "son" World at home.

While the German coach had renewed, for the third time in three matches, the same starting lineup which seemed blunt and powerless against the solid Swiss defense embodied by Manuel Akanji, the salvation came from the bench. the Mannschaft.

Füllkrug as savior of the homeland

Regulation time had ended two minutes ago when David Baum placed the ball, between the Swiss central defenders, on the head of Niclas Füllkrug, who also entered the game, who rose above everyone to beat Yann Sommer powerless (1-1, 93rd). However, everything seemed to have fallen apart for Germany in less than twenty minutes.

Twenty minutes of absence: between a goal denied to Robert Andrich and a yellow card received by Jonathan Tah for a foul on Breel Embolo, the Mannshaft was surprised by striker Dan Ndoye . In the 18th minute, the Germans, carried by an entire people during "their" Euro initially believed their domination at the start of the match was rewarded by a goal from Robert Andrich.

Ndoye misses the double by nothing

Served by Florian Wirtz, his club teammate, the strike, at the entrance to the midfield area of ​​Bayer Leverkusen, surprised Yann Sommer, the goalkeeper, with a capricious rebound Swiss. But after resorting to video assistance, the German goal was canceled due to a prior foul by Jamal Musiala on Michel Aebischer who had repelled a first offensive in his area.

Ten minutes later, on a counter initiated by Rennais Fabien Rieder, Dan Ndoye took advantage of a cross from Remo Freuler to beat Jonathan Tah and deceive Manuel Neuer (1-0, 28th ). The Bologna striker could have scored a double, two minutes later, getting the better of Antonio Rudiger this time, when his cross shot from the left narrowly grazed Neuer's post which seemed beaten.< /p>

The Germans therefore ended these twenty apathetic minutes with the yellow card of Tah, under suspension and who will miss his team's round of 16. They were heading for their first defeat in eight games when Fullkrug finally appeared. This is a warning of no consequence. For now.
