Germany lost 3-2 against Turkey on Saturday evening at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin in a friendly match, a worrying setback just under seven months before the opening match of Euro-2024 in Munich.
The Mannschaft had not lost against Turkey for more than 18 years (2-1 on October 8, 2005). We have to go back to mid-June 1951 to find any trace of a home defeat against the Turks.
Three nations in turn qualify for Euro-2024
The Germans once again displayed their defensive shortcomings for coach Julian Nagelsmann’s first match at home. They conceded goals from Ferdi Kadioglu (38th), Kenan Yildiz (45th+2) and Yusuf Sari (71st, from the penalty spot). They opened the scoring through Kai Havertz (4th) and equalized thanks to Niclas Füllkrug at the start of the second half (49th).
Germany remained in three matches without defeat against France (2-1), the United States (3-1) and Mexico (2-2) since coach Hansi Flick was sidelined on September 10.
The Mannschaft travels to Vienna on Tuesday evening to face Austria, already qualified for Euro-2024 just like Turkey, while Turkey, whose coach is Vicenzo Montella, goes to Cardiff for its last qualifying match and secure first place in his group.
