The German national team secured a modest victory in the qualifying match held on Northern Ireland's home ground. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The only goal was scored by Nik Voltemade. This is his first goal in his sixth match with the "Bundestim" team.
Additionally, he was active in defense as well. The "Euro-Football.Ru" online publication rated three German national team players after the match in Belfast.
Among them are players from whom more was expected. According to the match protocol, Germany won 1-0 against Northern Ireland.
The goal was scored in the 31st minute by Nik Voltemade. Other players also participated actively in the game, but some did not perform as effectively as expected.
Karim Adeyemi received a rating of 3.0 in the match. He showed a lack of sporting courage and finishing in situations.
He lost six duels against opponents, attempted dribbling five times, but failed each time. Once left alone with the ball, his shot was also unsuccessful.
However, the yellow card he received before being substituted was correctly assessed. Joshua Kimmich received a rating of 4.0.
Unlike the match against Luxembourg, in Belfast he showed a much weaker performance. The opponents applied constant pressure, and Kimmich showed problems with speed and reaction.
This led to shots against the German goal and even a disallowed goal. David Raum was rated 5.0.
He accurately passed the ball from a corner kick to Voltemade, but the overall quality of his passes was low, completing only 67 percent accurately. This resulted in many lost balls.
Raum cleared the ball several times and tried to stop the opponents' attacks, but sometimes it was evident that he was not ready for the British style of play. Such a tough game from the Northern Ireland national team was to be expected.
