Germany, led by new coach Julian Nagelsmann, drew against Mexico (2-2) in a friendly played in Philadelphia. There are eight months to go until the 2024 European Championship at home and having already qualified, the Mannschaft took advantage of a mini American tour to become familiar with Nagelsmann's schemes. After the convincing victory against the United States (3-1) on Saturday in Hartford (Connecticut), the Germans had to settle for a draw against Mexico. A welcome third game without defeat after the humiliation against Japan (4-1) on September 9, which led to the sacking of Hansi Flick. Real Madrid defender Rüdiger opened the scoring in the 25th minute. Borussia Dortmund striker Niclas Füllkrug, who came on for Thomas Müller at half-time, immediately took advantage of a Florian Wirtz header that was blocked by Guillermo Ochoa to equalise (2-2) in the 51st minute. However, the Germans once again showed their defensive fragility by conceding two goals. In the 37th minute, the Mexicans scored through Uriel Antuna. After half-time, Erick Sanchez beat Niklas Süle in the aerial duel to head in an Antuna cross to score the second Mexican goal (47').
