The German national team had an impressive warm-up for the 2026 World Cup, winning convincingly 4-0 against Finland in a friendly match. Against a supposedly weaker opponent, coach Julian Nagelsmann decided to give opportunities to several new and reserve players in the starting lineup, such as Undav, Karl, and Nmecha.

Despite not fielding their strongest lineup, Germany quickly took control of the game. With superior personnel, the home team controlled possession well and continuously launched attacks towards goalkeeper Hradecky's goal. However, the Finnish defense played with great concentration for most of the early stages of the match, forcing Germany to wait until the 33rd minute to score the opening goal.
