Germany runs sluggishly before the World Cup

The development of the match at Mohammed Al Hoish Stadium (Saudi Arabia) surprised many people. Despite holding the ball 68%, launching 12 shots, Germany could not concede an opponent who was only 75th on the FIFA table, 64 places behind them. When the Asian team was down at the end of the match, Hansi Flick's army found the winning goal thanks to the substitute striker Niclas Fullkrug.

Flick ranked 17-year-old striker Youssoufa Moukoko as the main kick. Supporting him are Leroy Sane, Kai Havertz and Jonas Hofmann. The midfield pair is Leon Goretzka and Ilkay Gundogan. A quartet of David Raum, Matthias Ginter, Thilo Kehrer and Lukas Klostermann shielded Manuel Neuer's goal. In theory, this squad has many starting players, including six positions that coincide with the starting line-up against England in the Nations League at the end of September.

However, Oman got in better. This can be explained by the fact that they are more familiar with the weather in Saudi Arabia. In the sixth minute, two consecutive horizontal lines from Jameel Al Yahmadi and Salah Al Yahyaei made the German defense confused. Off the touchline, Flick couldn't hide his worried expression.

15 minutes, a clear opportunity came to Oman when Munzer Al-Alawi passed Kehrer on the right and cut his heart, but the ball went a bit high. Germany responded with a good central coordination, but Havertz's somewhat blunt cut was blocked by goalkeeper Ibrahim Al Mukhaini.
