It ended on Friday evening at Luxembourg 0 Germany 2.
Two Newcastle United players will appear for Germany in this crucial World Cup group qualifier.
Malick Thiaw received his first call-up in more than two years thanks to his excellent form in Newcastle. He came off the bench after 79 minutes to help secure the win.
By then Germany were 2-0 up, both goals coming from well-taken finishes from Nick Woltemade.
The first with his left foot, the second with his right, in the 49th and 69th minutes respectively.
Looking at the individuals on the two teams, it’s interesting to get an independent perspective on how this played out.

Thursday November 13
Moldova 0 Italy 2
Sandro Tonali played the full match in this World Cup group qualifier and although it took until the 88th minute for the away side to score, they fully deserved the eventual 2-0 win. Tonali, the key figure in midfield, dominated throughout (28 to 3 shots, 13 to 1 corners, 65 to 3 touches by players in the opposition penalty area) but struggled to convert that into goals.
England 2 Serbia 0
A dominant performance from England with a classy Saka strike giving the hosts a half-time lead. Dan Burn watched from the bench as the Three Lions failed to capitalize on their chances until Eze matched Saka with the quality of his finishing in the 90th minute.
Friday November 14
Luxembourg 0 Germany 2
Two high-quality finishes in the second half from Nick Woltemade, the first with his left boot and the second with his right boot, sent Germany to this crucial 2-0 win. They now just need to avoid defeat at home to Slovakia on Monday to automatically qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals.
Great to see Malick Thiaw also enter the field, coming on in the 79th minute as Woltemade played the full match.
