Undav Strikes Late as Germany Edge Ghana 2-1

Nagelsmann signaled he will keep preset World Cup roles heading into a May squad announcement.

Overview

  • Germany, which beat Ghana 2-1 Monday in Stuttgart, extended Julian Nagelsmann’s run to seven straight wins.
  • Kai Havertz put Germany ahead from a first-half stoppage-time penalty after a VAR handball review, and Abdul Fatawu equalized in the 70th minute from a Derrick Köhn cross.
  • Local favorite Deniz Undav came on at halftime and netted the 88th-minute winner by finishing a Leroy Sané header at the back post.
  • After the match, Nagelsmann reiterated that player roles for the World Cup are already defined and suggested Undav remains a substitute despite the goal.
  • With this international window over, Germany now targets a May roster reveal and tune-ups against Finland and the United States to lock in selections and tactics before the World Cup.
