Another Thriller Between Australia And Germany

The teams of Germany and Australia have always offered a great show for the football fans. This time the Germans won the game 3-2 and took their first 3 points in group B of the Confederations Cup.

The World Cup winners seemed to be very strong in the very beginning of the game and they deservedly took the lead against Australia in the 5th minute. Julian Brandt provided Lars Stindl with a wonderful assist and the attacker of Borussia Monchengladbach scored his first goal with the colours of his nation. The Australians hardly kept the ball in their possession, but shockingly found the net from their second good chance in the match. The midfielder of Celtic Tom Rogic scored with a shot from outside the box. Then, it seemed that the first half will finish with a draw, but the referee pointed the spot for a penalty just a minute before the break. The captain of Germany Julian Draxler converted the penalty into a goal and gave his team the lead for the second time in the match.

The Kangaroos played better during the second half, but they allowed an early goal, which was scored by Leon Goretzka. The midfielder made a great movement and received a superb pass by Joshua Kimmich. That was Goretzka’s first senior intrenational goal. The final score was fixed by Tomi Juric, who took advantage of a poor goalkeeping by Leverkusen’s goalkeeper Bernd Leno in the 56th minute. Juric showed a great piece of skills again 10 minutes later, but his team couldn’t equalize again. The coach of Australia subbed Tim Cahill on 5 minutes before the end of the match, but the Kangaroos’ legend couldn’t affect the outcome.

However, even though the German team was full of inexperienced players – they managed to take the three points. On the other hand, Australia still have a chance to find a place in the semi-finals, but The Kangaroos must win their next game against Cameroon.
