4: 0! Wirtz scored in the center post, Kimmich scored twice, Germany defeated the weak team and regained the first place in the group

In the World Cup qualifiers in September, Germany suffered an upset loss to Slovakia. This caused Deutsche Chariot to temporarily lose the initiative in competing for first place in the group. There is no room for failure in the future group matches. In the early morning of October 11, in the third round of the European zone of the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup, Germany played at home against Luxembourg. Kimmich scored twice, Raum scored a wonderful free kick, and Weir hit the post. Germany won with 4 goals and regained the first place in the group.

Luxembourg ranks last in Group A and is recognized as the weakest team in this group. In this battle, Nagelsmann asked Kimmich to return to the right back position to form a defense line combination with Tower, Schloterbeck and Laum; the two Bayern midfielders Pavlovich and Goretzka formed a double midfielder; Wirtz, Gnabry, Adeyemi and Walter Mader partnered in the frontcourt offensive line.

There is an obvious gap in strength between the two sides. The German team suppressed its opponent directly after the opening. In the 4th minute, Gnabry turned around and shot in the penalty area, hitting Walter Mader and refracting into the net. However, the referee ruled that the handball foul came first. In the 14th minute, the German team got a free kick opportunity at the edge of the penalty area. Raum's free kick was like a full moon scimitar, bypassing the wall and heading straight into the dead corner of the goal, 1:0! The Leipzig left-back scored his first goal for the national team.

In the 23rd minute, Wirtz picked a pass from the ribs, Gnabry unloaded the ball in the penalty area, and Carlson committed a direct handball foul. The referee not only awarded Germany a penalty kick, but also sent it off. Then Kimmich easily hit the penalty, 2:0! In the 30th minute, Kimmich made a wide-range move into the penalty area. Goretzka shot from close range and was bravely saved by the goalkeeper. In the 36th minute, Wirtz held the ball near the center circle and advanced through the ball to launch a counterattack. Unfortunately, Walter Mader stopped the ball too much and the shot was not effective, and was eventually resolved by the goalkeeper.

Back in the second half, the German team continued to expand its advantage; in the 48th minute, Adeyemi's through ball was too powerful, but the Luxembourg defender's tackle turned into an own goal assist. Gnabry smiled and accelerated the breakthrough and shot low into the net, 3:0! Only 3 minutes later, the Luxembourg defense made another marking error in the defensive corner kick. Kimmich scored twice with a poke in the melee in front of the goal, 4:0!

ended the suspense of the game early. Nagelsmann also paid the price and made early substitutions. Walter Mader and Adeyemi were both replaced. In the 63rd minute, Wirtz took a free kick and hit the post. So far in the new season, the 130 million euro man has still not been able to adjust to his best condition. Although the German team failed to score in the remaining half an hour, they still won the game 4:0. Even better news is that Slovakia lost to Northern Ireland in the same group. This allowed the German team to directly reverse the group structure and take first place in the group with its goal difference advantage, and also regained the initiative to advance.
