1/18
Bernd Leno, Tor:
The Arsenal goalkeeper had very little to do in the first half.
He grabbed it a few times safely, caught some balls that every goalkeeper has to catch.
After the break, things didn't go as well for him: he looked without a chance when the goals conceded.
After the 1-1 draw, he kept the team from falling behind with a strong save.

Nico Schulz, left wing (up to 70th minute):
The Dortmund player is only a substitute for his club, even if the national coach had predicted him this week that he would "get his playing times".
With the performance on Wednesday, he was unable to collect few arguments for this.
Eager, but in the sense of overzealous.
The Turkish equalizer to 1: 1 was created after an unclean pass from him.
After 70 minutes it was over for Schulz.

Robin Gosens (from the 70th minute):
One of the newcomers of the year, with Atalanta Bergamo he causes a stir in the Champions League.
He also made it into the national team, albeit only for 20 uninspicuous minutes on Wednesday as a replacement for Schulz.

Robin Koch, defense:
At Leeds United, Koch is currently getting to know the rough world of football, but this evening should have been more relaxing for the former Freiburg resident.
In the middle of the defense he did his job, but he didn't dare to go forward and preferred to play the safe cross pass.

Antonio Rüdiger, defense (up to 59th minute):
Rüdiger has also played little for months, he is hardly ever used at Chelsea at the moment, and you could see that in him.
His forward excursions ended in vain.
In a duel, more clumsy than elegant, he got the yellow card early and continued his robust physical activity regardless.
With his substitution after an hour, he escaped the danger of being sent off.

Jonathan Tah (from 59th minute):
The Leverkusen player, who came into the game after an hour, currently also needs self-confidence and is no longer the first choice at the club.
Which he has basically never been in the DFB.
Löw has stuck to him for years because he can at least perform well as a central defender in an emergency.
Like on Wednesday.

Benjamin Henrichs, right wing:
Another one from the starting XI who has to fight for his regular place first.
Henrichs has only just landed at RB Leipzig and is looking for his role there as well as in the national team.
His nomination was surprising anyway, he played solidly on his right side, ironed out a few things on the defensive.
In order to remain in focus at the DFB-Elf, a more sustainable presentation would have been necessary.

Emre Can, defense:
The Dortmund man was already a veteran in this team, and he was struggling to take on a leadership role.
Often trying to get the ball and the build-up of the game too, but at Can a few negligence creeps in regularly.
They did not fail to appear against Turkey either.
Still a satisfactory game.

Florian Neuhaus, midfield (up to 79th minute):
The Gladbach player was the only debutant in the starting line-up, Joachim Löw's reward for a strong year at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The midfielder had a few offensive actions, dared to shoot a shot on goal and otherwise held back.
Which is okay for a very first gig.
Not everyone is a Pierre Littbarski and scores two goals in his first international match.
A goal in the debut is sometimes enough.
Before the 2-2 he lost the ball, but that looked very much like a foul by the opponent.

Mo Dahoud (from 79th minute):
debutant for debutant.
The ex-Gladbacher Dahoud replaced the Gladbacher Neuhaus after 77 minutes.
The BVB player knows the fate of Dortmund, at best, being substituted on late.
But Joachim Löw says: "The future belongs to him."
We will see.

Julian Brandt, midfield (up to 85th minute):
On the offensive, the one with the most ball contacts, with the most scenes, surprisingly for him with the most ball conquests.
If something was going forward somewhere, Brandt was usually involved, he was also happy to run.
However, the Dortmund man also has to advertise himself, he has already been through with BVB.

Niklas Stark (from the 85th minute):
The Herthaner, also someone who no longer has a regular seat in the club, was allowed to play a little for Brandt at the DFB from the 85th minute.

Julian Draxler, Sturm (until 59th minute):
As captain of the team, according to Oliver Bierhoff, he should show that "he is not just a follower".
This at least unusual type of player motivation paid off at least with the opening goal.
He had already hit the goal before, but it was still an offside position.
So quite noticeable when it came to the front line.
When it came to the game, but less time-giving than too often, well, followers.

Jonas Hofmann (from the 59th minute):
After almost 60 minutes, the second Gladbach player also made his international debut when he came on for Draxler.
At the age of 28, Hofmann made it to the DFB, he was always talented.

Kai Havertz, Sturm (up to 90th minute):
The expectations are always higher with him than with others, after all, the New Londoner is blessed with so much talent and is now burdened with an astronomical transfer fee.
Under such a bar you actually have to do gymnastics below, and it was.
Nevertheless, Havertz's performance was still enough to prepare two German goals and to bring ease into many actions.

Luca Waldschmidt, Sturm:
As the only nominal tip he sometimes looked like a lone fighter, not always optimally integrated into the game - and when he was in action, not really effective.
His moment came late, but it came.
In the 81st minute, when he did intervene vigorously: That was 3: 2.

Joachim Löw, coach:
His most important achievement will be to learn from this game.
One of his biggest challenges in Löw's 14-year career as head coach at the DFB.
