Germany Grabs Last-Minute Victory Over Greece in Euro 2024 Warm-Up Game

Dominated and led by the score on an error by Manuel Neuer, Germany reversed the course of its last preparation match in the second half to win (2-1) Friday against Greece, seven days before the opening match of Euro 2024. Julian Nagelsmann’s players, who drew against Ukraine (0-0) on Monday in Nuremberg, won in Mönchengladbach in the last minute of regulation time on a restart from outside from the right foot of Pascal Gross (89th), his first goal for the selection.

Faced with a Greece eliminated from the race for the Euro by Georgia in the play-off final, Ilkay Gündogan’s teammates missed out on their first period and were logically trailed by a goal from Giorgios Masouras (34th) . Faced with high Greek pressure, the Germans lost the ball and Manuel Neuer completely missed his shot, releasing Christos Tzolis’ shot at the feet of Masouras in ambush.

Returning from the locker room with better intentions, the Mannschaft equalized through Kai Havertz (56th), at the conclusion of a movement on the right side of the German offensive animation. In the draw against Ukraine, Nagelsmann appreciated the way his players always tried to win the match, but they were unable to find the net. Friday, by pressing in the last quarter of an hour (Benjamin Henrichs’ strike on the crossbar in the 83rd), they showed the same desire, with the winning goal at the end.

The Germans will begin their Euro 2024 at home on June 14 in Munich against Scotland. They will continue in Stuttgart against Hungary on June 19, and will finish their first round in Frankfurt against Switzerland on June 23.
