The match against Germany saw a surprising turn of events. France had not conceded a goal in five games since losing the World Cup final to Argentina the previous year. However, Germany managed to score as early as the fourth minute, with Thomas Müller finding the back of the net. Leroy Sané added a second goal, sealing France’s fate in a 2-1 defeat.

Before this match, Germany faced a crushing 4-1 defeat at the hands of Japan. Following the defeat, Hansi Flick lost his job as the coach. Germany has been going through a rough patch, failing to win any of its last five games and being eliminated in the group stage at the previous year’s World Cup. However, defeating the World Cup runners-up provided a much-needed morale boost.

As Germany now searches for a new permanent coach ahead of games against the United States and Mexico next month, it’s clear that their journey to revival has just begun. It’s worth noting that their victory against France came under the guidance of a three-person caretaker team, including sporting director Rudi Völler.
