The most anticipated game this Sunday (27th) in the Qatar Cup ended 1-1 at Al Bayt stadium. Germany and Spain had a disputed confrontation and marked by balance. The result leaves for the last round the definition of who will advance to the round of 16 in Group E. La Roja leads with four points, followed by Japan and Costa Rica (both with 3 each), while the Germans have just one.
End of a game!

At six minutes of the first half, Spanish forward Dani Olmo dominated at the edge of the area and kicked hard. German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer parried and the ball exploded off the crossbar. At 21, the Spanish right-back Jordi Alba arrived on the left of the attack, cleared Thilo Kehrer and the ball took paint off the crossbar.
At 39 minutes, after a free-kick on the right, the German Antonio Rüdiger, with a header, scored the Iberian nets. But VAR noted a millimetric offside and annulled the goal. In the second stage, Spanish coach Luis Enrique replaced son-in-law Ferrán Torres with Morata. The Atlético de Madrid striker received a ball on the right and deflected it into the back of the German goal.

Behind the scoreboard, the German striker Lukas Klostermann advanced quickly on the right, passed to the young Musiala, who got rid of the marking and left it to the center forward Niclas Füllkrug who, free of the marking, kicked hard and crossed it to tie the match.
The decision of group E is for next Thursday (December 1st), at 4 pm (Brasília time), when two games will take place simultaneously: Costa Rica x Germany and Spain x Japan.
