Germany swallows a bitter equalizer against the Netherlands - and then has penalty luck

WHISTLE: That's it!

Netherlands vs Germany - 1:1!

Let's put the game in a nutshell: Germany played a strong game and took a deserved lead through Müller's goal just before the break (45'+1').

After the change of sides, David Raum missed the huge chance to make it 2-0.

The Dutch stayed in the game and came back brilliantly.

First, Raum lost the decisive header duel against Denzel Dumfries, Joker Steven Bergwijn used the assist to make it 1:1 (68th).

A few minutes later there could have been a penalty for the Netherlands.

Thilo Kehrer fouled Memphis Depay, who then put the ball on the spot.

Referee Craig Pawson watched the scene again and eventually didn't award the penalty.

Lucky for Germany!

In the end it stayed at a fair 1:1.

90 minutes:

There are two minutes on top.

What else is going on here?

De Jong plays a few knots in Brandt's legs again, but his pass to the top lands on Neuer.

88 minutes:

Huge chance for Germany!

Suddenly Nmecha is free, but he can't get a clean finish.

Patch is here.

The Dutch counterattack runs, Rüdiger pulls Depay to the ground off the ball.

This gives yellow later.

The counterattack turns into a corner that Germany finally defends.

86 minutes:

Draxler comes on for Sané, Günter for space.

85 minutes:

Nmecha takes a long-range shot!

Finally a sign of life again.

But Flekken is on the post.

83 minutes:

Raum loses the ball in the opponent's half and Dumfries then has to foul.

Yellow.

81 minutes:

Holland is now clearly better, with Germany there is no longer any rhythm after the many changes and the almost double strike.

Neuer has to save twice, then Schlotterbeck clears on the line.

Phew...

80 minutes:

Germany changes: Werner and Kehrer out.

Henrichs and Nmecha in.

75 minutes:

Incredibly wild phase here!

Germany almost completely gives away a game within four minutes.

First the compensation, then the almost penalty.

Now take a deep breath and collect.

Kai Havertz withdraws, Denzel Dumfries comes too late.

74 minutes:

Elftal makes a change, Aké for Malacia.

Netherlands vs Germany NOW live: DFB-Elf conceded equalizer and got lucky from the penalty spot

71 minutes: Penalty for Holland!

Kehrer lays Depay.

And he's starting now... or is he?

Pawson looks at the scene again on the monitor.

NO PENALTY!

Surprising decision, Germany is lucky!

Kehrer probably hits the ball minimally.

69 minutes:

Germany changes: Brandt and Neuhaus for Havertz and Musiala.

68 minutes: GOAL FOR HOLLAND!

Compensation by Steven Bergwijn, really bitter for Germany!

This comes out of nowhere!

Fantastic ball from de Jong towards Dumfries.

He puts the ball back with his head.

In the middle, the joker rushes up and nails the ball into the net from a short distance.

No chance for newcomers.

Raum had previously lost the decisive header duel against Dumfries.

67 minutes:

Germany will change.

Julian Brandt and Florian Neuhaus are coming.

64 minutes:

Crazy, David Raum!

Mega sprint backwards, so he prevents a Holland counterattack.

Rüdiger with trash talk against Flekken: Germany started well in the second half

62 minutes:

Flekken catches Musiala's header after the corner and wants to speed up the game.

Rüdiger jostles him slightly, gives him a few beats along the way - the discount goes nowhere.

Once again: Rüdiger knows all the tricks of the football world - and is not afraid to play them.

61 minutes:

Sané gets a free kick, which he kicks himself.

He is deflected to the corner.

Flekken clears this to the next corner.

58 minutes:

Holland makes a change: Klaassen and Bergwijn for Berghuis and Malen.

57 minutes:

Depay free-kick crosses and Rüdiger clears it for a corner.

And the Ligt!

His volley hammer after the corner kick goes just over it.

54 minutes:

The DFB-Elf now has a lot of ball possession and suddenly comes over the right side.

Thilo Kehrer is not attacked and pulls from 23 meters - just over.

51 minutes:

Germany continues to be incredibly variable on the offensive.

Havertz, Müller, Sané and Werner keep swapping positions.

This is how the 1-0 came about when Werner suddenly appeared on the left wing and played this fantastic interface ball.

47 minutes:

It MUST be 2-0!

Great attack from Germany, Sané sets the stage for space, which is suddenly completely blank in the penalty area.

He must have been surprised himself!

De Ligt stands in his way, space doesn't quite know where to put the ball.

In the end he puts it just above Flekken's box.

Sané shoots again half a minute later - over it.

46 minutes:

Let's continue!

Gini Wijnaldum will come on to replace Teun Koopmeiners.

So a change at Oranje, Germany unchanged.

Halftime:

Go!

Germany leads here in Amsterdam.

The 1-0 is not undeserved, but the Dutch also had a huge chance in the person of Donyell Malen.

Thomas Müller then almost puts the DFB selection in front with the half-time whistle.

The Flick-Elf has to be careful when losing the ball on the center line.

When Memphis Depay or Malen are out and about, they're hard to get hold of.

Oranje is waiting for these moments of change.

Netherlands vs Germany NOW live: DFB-Elf celebrates

45 minutes (+1): GOAL FOR GERMANY!

Seconds before the half-time whistle it rattles and the DFB-Elf cheers!

Thomas Müller completes a fantastic attack.

Violent shot with the left, Flekken has no chance.

Timo Werner plays an outstanding ball down there, Jamal Musiala is through and drops from the baseline into the danger zone.

The Dutch can still defend this ball, Kai Havertz can't get close.

But Thomas Müller lurks in the back, turns and shoots from 15 meters - the ball hits the Dutch net with a lot of bang.

43 minutes:

Havertz pulls out another corner.

It's harmless.

Shortly thereafter, Werner and de Ligt duel at the corner flag, the Dutchman plays the ball wide.

But there is repulsion.

Werner rightly complains to referee Craig Pawson.

40 minutes:

Germany has recovered after the best chance of the Dutch and puts the forward gear.

Netherlands vs Germany NOW live: moment of shock just before the break

35 minutes:

Almost the lead for Holland.

Germany is - as you know from Flick - extremely high.

Depay wins the ball in the center circle and immediately sends Malen up.

He is faster than Rüdiger and comes to an end.

The Chelsea defender gives him a little nudge which could be crucial for Malen's miss.

Of course it wasn't a penalty, cleverly done by Rüdiger.

But there you see the danger of flick-pressing - a deep ball and it immediately becomes tight.

33 minutes:

Gündogan is plowed on the center line and loses the ball. Malen tries it from a distance – wrong.

32 minutes:

Havertz extremely elegant again - Sané comes to an end, but he goes over it.

30 minutes:

Werner goes down in the penalty area.

Malen's contact is certainly there, but the Chelsea striker falls far too theatrically.

Of course, he should avoid such scenes at all costs - after all, a swallow in Leipzig times still lingers on him to this day.

29 minutes:

Musiala once again moves incredibly smoothly in midfield.

Depay can only help himself with a foul - yellow!

28 minutes:

Kehrer, who has been playing well on his right side, fouls Berghuis.

Holland plays the free kick but briefly and loses the ball as a result.

25 minutes:

And then the Dutch are there!

Bad pass Sané, Malen is suddenly in shooting position.

Schlotterbeck deflects to the corner.

That's how fast it can go against a good opponent.

23 minutes:

Short interim conclusion: Germany is really in the game here!

Holland was more venomous in the early stages, letting the crowd whip them forward.

In the meantime, however, Germany has arrived in the Johan Cruijff Arena.

The Flick-Elf boldly presses, puts the opponent under pressure.

The Dutch are pushed back to their own sixteen, which they are not used to - especially at home.

21 minutes:

And Werner!

Another good German attack, Havertz stages space on the left.

The flank comes well to Werner, his header goes to the crossbar - but he was previously offside.

18 minutes:

Havertz from afar – safe prey for Flekken.

And directly afterwards Holland has the big chance!

Great pass from de Ligt, which sends Malen steeply.

Schlotterbeck can't keep up, but Malacia's cross is too imprecise.

There was more in it for the hosts.

15 minutes:

Hansi Flick will be happy here after 15 minutes.

Germany is high, pressing aggressively.

Holland keeper Flekken is repeatedly sprinted by Werner and Sané.

The DFB-Elf is doing well here.

12 minutes:

Werner puts pressure on Flekken!

The Dutchman just manages to clear the ball, luck for Holland!

And a few seconds later the Germans get through really well for the first time!

Super interaction between Müller and Sané, Sané pulls away - outside netting!

Germany registers here.

10 minutes:

Germany corner – but the ball from space is intercepted.

7 minutes:

Sané wins the ball deep in the German half and pushes forward.

De Jong grabs him on the center circle, applause in the Johan Cruijff Arena.

You can tell: This is a witch's cauldron!

And Oranje is more active in the first few minutes.

6 minutes:

Koopmeiners header!

First dangerous scene here, but Neuer is there.

5 minutes:

Musiala gets involved in a duel with Malen, the Dortmunder holds his arm - and rips his long-sleeved shirt, which he wears under the DFB jersey, in two.

Musiala complains, but it goes on.

3 minutes:

Schlotterbeck stops a Dutch attack.

It is important that the Freiburg intercepts this pass.

1st minute:

Let's go!

Germany straight forward, but a first cross from David Raum lands in the arms of Oranje keeper Mark Flekken.

Netherlands vs Germany NOW live: Dutch whistle the German anthem

8:44 p.m .:

With “Het Wilhelmus” the whistles can of course no longer be heard, the fans are busy singing.

Alright - let's focus on the sport.

8:41 p.m .:

The anthems are played – and in the German version there are actually occasional whistles from the Dutch audience!

Not exactly the fine kind.

8.40 p.m .:

The teams come onto the lawn.

Ready to go!

8:36 p.m .:

Hansi Flick already reacted to a number of current topics before the game.

Here are the statements of the national coach.

8:16 p.m .:

The countdown is on, it starts in half an hour.

Bastian Schweinsteiger is on the job today as an ARD expert - he reported in advance with a picture reminiscent of a scandalous game at FC Bayern.

8:07 p.m .:

Today, by the way, starting places for the world championship will also be played out.

We accompany the World Cup playoffs in the live ticker.

8:03 p.m .:

The Dutch lineup is also there: Flekken - Blind, van Dijk, de Ligt - Malacia, de Jong, Koopmeiners, Dumfries - Berghuis - Depay, Malen.

With Freiburg keeper Mark Flekken and BVB striker Donyell Malen, there are two Bundesliga players.

7:52 p.m .:

Hansi Flick largely does without experiments in the classic in the Netherlands.

The national coach sends the nominally strongest starting eleven into the prestige duel in Amsterdam.

Overall, Flick made four changes compared to the 2-0 home win against Israel three days earlier.

Manuel Neuer returns to goal.

In front of the captain, Nico Schlotterbeck and Antonio Rüdiger, who is playing his 50th international, form the central defender duo.

David Raum and Thilo Kehrer defend on the outside.

In central midfield, Flick tested Bayern professional Jamal Musiala for the first time from the start on double six alongside Ilkay Gündogan.

On the offensive, Kai Havertz, Thomas Müller and Leroy Sané should cause a stir behind the only striker Timo Werner.

Netherlands against Germany today in the live ticker: New Qatar vortex before the classic

First report from March 29, 5:38 p.m.:

Amsterdam – Netherlands against Germany: It is one of those great traditional duels in European football.

On Tuesday evening there will be a meeting for the first time since September 2019, when Germany suffered a painful 4-2 defeat in the European Championship qualifier.

In the meantime, however, a new national coach is at the helm and he has an impeccable record in his eight games so far with the DFB: Hansi Flick could extend his eight-win streak tonight in Amsterdam.

Netherlands - Germany today in the live ticker: DFB-Elf hopes for the second win of the year

The 2022 World Cup is getting closer and Germany was challenged at the start of the year in a friendly against Israel.

Flick saw courageous newcomers like David Raum and Nico Schlotterbeck, but he wasn't entirely satisfied with the somewhat meager 2-0 lead in the end.

In the game forward, the lack of penetrating power from the darkest Löw times was revealed at times.

Maybe that will be different against Oranje?

Beforehand, of course, there was a lot of talking, discussing and writing.

The young past of this classic is of course dusted off every time we see it again.

Müller in the 1974 World Cup final, Koeman in the 1988 European Championship semifinals, Rijkaard and Völler at the 1990 World Cup - there are countless chapters in the Dutch-German football rivalry.

Holland against Germany live: World Cup 2022 in Qatar causes discussions

At the moment, however, we are talking much less about each other and more with each other - and of course the World Cup in Qatar and the conditions there are the top priority.

Bonds coach Louis van Gaal stressed a few days ago that he finds it "ridiculous" to have to play in the emirate.

For him and Flick, the coming months will also be about developing a positive mood in the team for the tournament in late autumn, despite the justified criticism of the human rights conditions.

"We have to be careful not to close our eyes to the important and necessary political debates, but at the same time to arouse an inner euphoria that comes from within the team," said the 53-year-old.

Even before the early failure at the World Cup four years ago in Russia, there would have been too many distractions.

“My experience is that the discussion of non-sporting topics can temporarily overshadow football.

Before the 2018 World Cup, for example, it was incredibly difficult to generate enthusiasm for the World Cup internally,” Bierhoff recalled.

Despite various trips to Qatar, he still hasn't been able to get the same overview of the country as before the 2010 and 2014 tournaments live and how you can possibly help them within the scope of your own possibilities," said Bierhoff.

Before the trip to the World Cup group draw this Friday (all information about the World Cup group draw) in Doha, Bierhoff does not expect any major insights of this kind in the next World Cup host country.

"In Qatar I've only seen beautiful stadiums, training grounds and hotels so far.

I'm not optimistic that we'll get any deeper insights." National coach Flick will hope for the same on Tuesday evening when his DFB team is up against the Netherlands - here you can find all the information about the TV broadcast.
