FRANKFURT: Niclas Fuellkrug headed in an 85th minute goal to give Euro 2024 hosts Germany a 2-1 comeback victory over Netherlands in their international friendly on Tuesday and make it two victories from two matches in the past four days.
The result gave the Germans another big shot of confidence following Saturday’s 2-0 win against France, as they look to field a battle-worthy team for the tournament on home soil after years of disappointing international performances.
It was also the first time in his six internationals in charge that coach Julian Nagelsmann, who took over in September, earned back-to-back wins.
“This win does us a lot of good,” Nagelsmann said. “We played well, won possession and we adapted our game in terms of positions a bit. “The second half, it could have gone the other way but the last 15 minutes belonged to us.
“I think the spirit of the team is really good. The mix is good. It is more comfortable to go into this break with two wins. It was confirmation that we can not only keep up against some teams but dominate the matches.”
