"Germany picked up a crucial 2-0 win in Luxembourg in their penultimate World Cup qualifier with four Bayern players in the starting line-up. Jonathan Tah led Julian Nagelsmann's side as captain for the first time in the absence of Joshua Kimmich, who according to the DFB had to sit out because of a bruised ankle. Serge Gnabry, Aleksandar Pavlović and Leon Goretzka were also included in the German line-up, who struggled for a long time to live up to their status as favourites."
""It was a great honour and means a lot to me," said Tah after his first game as Germany skipper. "But it's not about me, it's about us qualifying for the World Cup." Thanks to Friday's victory, Germany are now well placed to seal qualification in their final group game against Slovakia on Monday (20:45 CET) in Leipzig. A draw against their closest challengers will be enough to book the DFB Team's ticket to the USA, Canada and Mexico next year."
Germany secured a 2-0 win in Luxembourg with four Bayern players starting; Jonathan Tah captained in Joshua Kimmich's absence. Nick Woltemade scored a second-half brace to overcome the hosts. Germany sit well to clinch World Cup qualification with a draw against Slovakia. Josip Stanišić played the full 90 minutes as Croatia beat the Faroe Islands 3-1, securing an unassailable lead in Group L and sealing World Cup qualification. Minjae Kim completed 90 minutes as South Korea defeated Bolivia 2-0 in Daejon, with Heung-Min Son and Gue-Sung Cho scoring in the second half.
