Deniz Undav was the matchwinner for Germany as they defeated Ghana 2-1 at\u00a0MHPArena.<\/p>\n
Abdul Fatawu restored parity in the 70th minute after Kai Havertz’s first-half penalty gave Germany the lead, but Undav was on hand late on to seal victory for Germany in Stuttgart and extend their unbeaten run.<\/p>\n
Julian Nagelsmann’s side dominated the first half, with Nick Woltemade firing wide in the fourth minute from Havertz’s cutback before Florian Wirtz struck the post from a free-kick moments later.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Tah squandered two opportunities from close range before Wirtz saw a goal ruled out for offside shortly after the half-hour mark, but Havertz ensured Germany would enter the break with the lead after scoring from the spot following a handball from\u00a0Jonas Adjetey.<\/p>\n
Germany pushed for a second after half-time, with Woltemade heading Lennart Karl’s cross onto the bar, and the hosts were made to pay for their wastefulness when Fatawu swept in from Derrick Kohn’s low cross.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Germany were not to be denied victory as second-half substitutes Leroy Sane and Undav combined in the 88th minute, with the latter poking in the winner in the stadium where he plays his club football.<\/p>\n
Data Debrief: Impact subs from Nagelsmann<\/p>\n
Although Germany were wasteful, particularly in the first half, it was a deserved win as they produced 3.06 expected goals from 23 shots to Ghana’s 0.56 from six attempts.<\/p>\n
Credit must go to Naglesmann, as his substitutions made the difference. Sane and Undav combined for the winner, while Karl recorded the joint-most shots in the match (three), created the joint-most chances (two) and completed 100% of his dribbles (two).<\/p>\n
Germany have now won each of their last seven matches in all competitions, boosting their confidence ahead of this summer’s World Cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
