"Nick Woltemade scored twice as Germany overcame an unconvincing performance against Luxembourg to close in on automatic qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Newcastle striker Woltemade prodded in Leroy Sane's cross in the 49th minute and finished from Ridle Baku's pass as part of a counter-attack 20 minutes later, ensuring Die Mannschaft will advance to the finals if they avoid defeat at home to Slovakia on Monday."
"Luxembourg are yet to take a point in the campaign but the side ranked 87 places below Germany in the world might have scored more than once. After Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz's early shot was turned behind by home goalkeeper Anthony Moris, Danel Sinani - a winger in the Bundesliga for St Pauli - spurned an excellent chance in front of goal to give the minnows a shock lead."
Nick Woltemade scored two goals to secure a victory for Germany over Luxembourg and strengthen Germany's position in the 2026 World Cup qualifying group. The first goal came from a Leroy Sane cross in the 49th minute and the second from a Ridle Baku pass on a counter-attack 20 minutes later. Woltemade has scored in consecutive internationals, having previously netted the only goal against Northern Ireland on October 13. Luxembourg created notable chances, with Florian Wirtz and Danel Sinani testing the goalkeeper and missing opportunities. Germany will secure automatic qualification if they avoid defeat against Slovakia at home.
