In a tense UEFA Nations League quarter-final, Germany overcame Italy after a shaky first half, largely thanks to Joshua Kimmich’s standout performance. Trailing 1-0, Kimmich delivered an accurate cross for Tim Kleindienst to equalize and later assisted Leon Goretzka for the winning goal. Kimmich emphasized the team's tactical adjustments in the second half, which allowed for improved box presence. His statistics reflect his dominance on the field: two assists, 101 touches, and a high pass accuracy rate contributed to his man of the match recognition.
"I'm happy with the win and the performance," Kimmich stated after the match. "We made a few changes in the second half especially with regards to having more presence in the box."
"Tim and Leon did that well. Thankfully [my] crosses worked out well today. I'm happy for Leon and for the entire team that we won."
