"Germany came into the contest reeling from Thursday's shock 2-0 defeat in Slovakia, their third consecutive defeat leading to stinging criticism of Nagelsmann in the German press. They quickly set about dominating the ball in the early stages and took a seventh-minute lead through Gnabry, Northern Ireland's nemesis six years ago when he scored a hat-trick in a 6-1 win in Frankfurt."
"Paddy McNair headed over from Devenny's corner before Price nicked the ball away from Rudiger to spark another attack. That one ended with a second corner, again sent in by Devenny and met superbly on the volley by Price at the far post, levelling the scores with his eighth Northern Ireland goal in his past nine appearances, and 10th overall at the age of just 21."
"A stunning strike from Isaac Price was not enough for Northern Ireland as second-half goals earned Germany a 3-1 World Cup qualifying win to ease the pressure on Julian Nagelsmann. Price's 34th-minute volley cancelled out an early goal from Serge Gnabry and gave Northern Ireland genuine hope of getting something out of the game, but quick-fire goals from the substitute Nadiem Amiri and Liverpool's 116m man Florian Wirtz settled it midway through the second half."
Germany beat Northern Ireland 3-1 in a World Cup qualifier in Cologne. Serge Gnabry opened the scoring in the seventh minute after Nick Woltemade's pass and a turnover by Eoin Toal. Isaac Price volleyed in the 34th minute to level the match, his eighth goal in nine appearances and tenth overall. Germany conceded momentum but regained control in the second half when substitutes Nadiem Amiri and Florian Wirtz scored quick-fire goals to settle the result. The win eased pressure on Julian Nagelsmann after Germany's earlier defeat in Slovakia, while Northern Ireland produced periods of strong performance.
