  • Germany's manager Julian Nagelsmann made a triple substitution on the hour mark, bringing on Nadiem Amiri, Jamie Leweling, and Deniz Undav to revitalise the team.
  • Substitute Deniz Undav scored Germany's equaliser in the 68th minute, expertly converting a volley from a cross delivered by fellow substitute Nadiem Amiri.
