Germany defeated France after 9 years, leaving the mark of interim coach Rudi Voeller

Technical director Rudi Voeller, in his role as interim head coach, made only a few changes to the team that had lost to Japan a few days earlier, bringing in veteran Thomas Mueller in the top flight for Kai Havertz and dropping Joshua Kimmich to the bench, using Jonathan Tah at right-back.

Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the field, coach Didier Deschamps unexpectedly "put away" Kylian Mbappe and used a four-man attack including Kolo Muani - Griezmann - Coman - Rabbiot and the central midfield pair Tchouameni - Camavinga.

Thomas Mueller opened the scoring for host Germany

It took just four minutes for the home team Germany to open the scoring when left-back Benjamin Henrichs returned the ball from close to the touchline for Thomas Mueller to curl in a goal in the penalty area, with seven of the visitors back in defence. A jubilant atmosphere filled the stands at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund.

Germany struggled to defend against France's attack

Ilkay Gundogan was injured and had to leave the field in the 25th minute, causing the German team's game to change, creating an opportunity for the French team to play aggressively. Within a few dozen seconds, goalkeeper Ter Stegen had to show his talent to save two consecutive headers from Tchouameni.

France's dominance only eased slightly after coach Didier Deschamps made substitutions in the second half, especially when Mbappe was still not brought on. The situation became more lively in the last 10 minutes when France increased the pressure and the host Germany was also ready to play an open game.

Leroy Sane doubled the lead

While in control, just a moment of carelessness from the defense made the French pay the price. In the 87th minute, from a bad pass by Jules Kounde, the German team counterattacked and Kai Havertz sent a very clever pass to Leroy Sane who escaped down the right wing and then curled the ball into the far corner of Mike Maignan's goal.

Antoine Griezmann scored a penalty to reduce the deficit

Just one minute later, Leroy Sane fouled Camavinga in the German penalty area and from the 11m mark, Antoine Griezmann easily scored to shorten the score to 1-2. This was also the final result of the friendly match and the German team temporarily escaped the crisis, defeating the French team for the first time in 9 years.
