An excellent team performance with Nick Woltemade in the lead for Germany.
The Newcastle United striker didn’t score himself but led the line so well, with his link-up play and all-round play helping to secure an impressive victory in this World Cup group qualifier.
Eliminated after an hour with the score already Germany 4 Luxembourg 0.
Thus the match ended.
Coupled with a shock 2-0 win for Northern Ireland over Martin Dubravka and Slovakia, Germany’s fortunes changed completely.
As outsiders go into the night looking to finish top of the group and automatically qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals, Nick Woltemade and Germany had a great night and are now huge favorites to finish top of the group.
They are now guaranteed to do that if they win their final three group games, starting with Northern Ireland in Belfast on Monday evening.
This is the October 2025 international fixture list for Newcastle United players:
