Iceland - Germany 0: 4

Jomsborg or Jómsborg (German: Jomsburg) was a semi-legendary Viking fortress at the southern coastline of the Baltic Sea (medieval Wendland, modern-day Pomerania), that existed between the 960s and also 1043. Its residents were understood as Jomsvikings. Jomsborg's precise area, or its existence, has actually not yet been developed, though it is frequently maintained that Jomsborg was somewhere on the islands of the Oder tidewater. Historian Lauritz Weibull disregarded Jomsborg as a legend.The just middle ages resource that states a precise area of Jomsborg (53 ° 51 ′ 50 ″ N 14 ° 43 ′ 05 ″ E) is Gesta Wulinensis ecclesiae pontificum that was uncovered in the fall of 2019.

A confirmation of performance at the 6-0 gala against Armenia had expressly wished the German camp in the run-up - and actually the prelude of the game in Iceland was almost congruent: with an early gate of Serge Gnabry. At the end of a beautiful combination, the German number 10 was served exactly from Sané and completed safely from a short distance (4th). Due to a supposed way, the Swedish referee gradually decided on the outside, after a short VaR review, the DFB team had the hoped for early leadership.

After that, although Germany had to survive a short penalty phase of the Icelanders and produce a good shot of Johannesson (17.), but at the latest from the middle of the second passage ran well from the view of the DFB team, the Hansi Flick in his third game as a national coach had changed to just one position: Gündogan replaced the struggled Reus in the starting and pushed into the top again and again from his tens position, behind it, above all, Kimmich provided a series of smart passes.

Free-Fößvariante works perfectly: Rüdiger Wuchtig to 2: 0

Likewise, Clever came the DFB-EC eleven in this phase to 2: 0: Kimmich chipped a free kick diagonally into the penalty area, where Rüdiger had dropped and powered into the long corner (24.) - a rehearsed variant. Additional opportunities to the pauses were added: Halldorsson parished against Goretzka (27th) and Werner (28th), Sané left a first-class free-kick position (37.).

Overall, Iceland got little access to the game, but occasionally flashed the existing potential: after a beautifully presented attack Captain Johann Gudmundsson but too harmless (43.).

Chance Wherfor after the break: Werner and Hvertz awarded Hochkärter

For the second round, Flick has already changed twice: Klostermann and Hanctz occupied the right side instead of Hofmann and Gnabry. Similar to the beginning of the first half, the game did not take any start-up time after the site change: On the one hand, Werner awarded a great opportunity free before Halldorsson (48.), in direct resume Johann Gudmundsson met only the post with a brilliant spacer shot (49. ).

The awarded opportunities should become the leitmotif of the second passage - in the further course but exclusively in front of the Icelandic gate. Hanctz put the ball completely freely before Halldorsson at the gate (55.), Werner to Klostermann's cross over the empty gate (62nd). For this purpose, Halldorsson contributed to Werner, Hvertz (66.) and Gündogan (72nd), a gate of Goretzka did not find recognition (63.) for a goal of the shortly previously substituted musical.

Sané with violence, Werner with reverse dral

Two successful degrees also recorded the German team in the midst of this opportunity growth, but also significantly from comparatively difficult final positions: After fine interaction with Goretzka Sané thundered the ball from a pointed angle under the lath (56th), Werner's shot bounced out from the inner post first into the field, thanks remarkable Backward drall but still behind the line to the 4: 0 final score from German view (89.).

So the German team remains without goal at Hansi Flick and has also expanded the lead at the top of the qualification group J, because pursuer Armenia first played 1-1 against Liechtenstein. The next two qualifiers denies the DFB-ELF in October: On the 8th of October it is in Hamburg against Romania, on the 11th of October, the Flick-Eleven enters Skopje against Nordmasedonia. Stick on both lots is at 20.45.
