Getting stuck in the preliminary round as the defending champion? This horror scenario threatens Germany at the U21 European Championship. After the 1-1 draw with Israel, Antonio Di Salvo’s team lost 2-1 to the Czech Republic in Batumi (Georgia), despite improving their performance in the second half.
Both goals against have a corner kick at the origin. After about half an hour, the Czechs can counterattack after a German corner kick, which Vaclav Sejk successfully completes. “Aggravating. Such a cheap goal. Something like this should not happen,” says Blick expert Markus Babbel, who works as a co-commentator for “running” at the European Championship.
In the decisive 2:1 in the 87th minute, the ball fell at the feet of Martin Vitik after a Czech corner kick. His shot bounces off Germany’s central defender, Henning Matriciani, into his own net. Brutally bitter for the defending champion, who pays for his miserable chance evaluation.
Since England defeated Israel 2-0 in the parallel match in Kutaisi (Georgia), one thing is clear: the “Three Lions” finish Group C as group leaders. The Czech Republic is currently second (3 points) ahead of Germany and Israel (1 each). To qualify for the quarter-finals, the Germans must beat England in the last group match on Wednesday. At the same time, they depend on Israeli support, but the current fourth in the ranking should not win too high. (yup)
