"Luxembourg had lost all of their four previous competitive meetings with Germany, but went close to breaking the deadlock during the first half, with Daniel Sinani and Aiman Dardari seeing efforts go just wide of the target. Serge Gnabry also fired narrowly wide from close range at the other end, but the visitors eventually made the breakthrough four minutes after the break. Leroy Sane led a swift counter before crossing for Woltemade to apply the finishing touch."
"Dardari dragged a great opportunity to equalise wide soon after, before Germany put the contest to bed in the 69th minute, with Ridle Baku setting up Woltemade for his second goal of the day. Sane rattled the crossbar from the edge of the penalty area later on, but the two-goal buffer was more than enough for Germany to see out for three points."
Germany defeated Luxembourg 2-0 in World Cup qualifying with both goals scored by Nick Woltemade in the second half. The match took place at Stade de Luxembourg and secured a top-two finish for Julian Nagelsmann's side. Luxembourg had early chances from Daniel Sinani and Aiman Dardari and Serge Gnabry missed for Germany, before Leroy Sane’s counter set up Woltemade for the opener. Ridle Baku later assisted Woltemade’s second. Germany registered their third successive clean sheet. Luxembourg have lost six straight qualifying matches, failed to score in their last four, and produced 0.78 xG from seven shots.
