Germany suffers second loss in U21 European Championship group stage
In a thrilling match, the Czech Republic defeated Germany 2-1 in the U21 European Championship group stage. The Czechs, playing in red, took the lead twice and secured the victory. This loss marks Germany’s second defeat in the same group, leaving them with only one point after two rounds.
The German national team, led by federal coach Antonio Di Salvo, drew 1-1 with Israel in their first match before succumbing to a tight battle against the Czech Republic. The defending champions had a chance to salvage at least one point but were unable to convert. The winning goal was scored by twenty-year-old defender Martin Vitík of Sparta Praha.
The elimination of Germany from the tournament would be a significant surprise, as the national team has been highly successful in recent years. They were gold medalists in 2017 and 2021, won a silver medal in 2019, and reached the semifinals in 2015. The last time Germany failed to advance past the group stage was in 2013, and there is now a high chance that history may repeat itself.
To have any hope of progressing, Germany must win their upcoming match against England and hope that the Czech Republic fails to score a point against Israel. However, the situation is not encouraging, as England has already secured their spot in the next round with a perfect record and no goals conceded.
In Group D, Italy managed to secure a 3-2 victory over Switzerland after leading 3-0 at halftime. This win brings Italy level with Switzerland in the group standings before the final round of matches.
The U21 European Championship continues with more exciting matches, including Norway versus France at 20:45.
