The German national team has also won its second group match and has thus qualified early for the round of 16 at the 2024 European Championships on home soil.
In the 2-0 (1-0) win over Hungary, two offensive players in particular impressed, but goalkeeper Manuel Neuer also put in a strong performance.
The grades and individual reviews of the team of national coach Julian Nagelsmann.
The most important things about the 2024 European Championship in brief
Manuel Neuer
He made a save against Sallai in the first minute and shortly after the opening goal he made two sensational saves against Szoboszlai’s free kick and the follow-up shot. He played a flawless game in which he excelled. He dropped a ball just before the end under pressure, but Kimmich cleared it. ran-Note: 2
Joshua Kimmich
Not quite awake after a few seconds when he comes too late against Sallai. Then he plays a nice long ball towards Havertz (5th minute) and is also constantly involved in the attack. He takes a few shots in the second half that just miss the target. Good performance from the Bayern star, who saves on the line after Neuer’s mistake (90th minute). ran-grade: 2
Antonio Ruediger
His completely unnecessary yellow card (26th minute) for entering the pitch too early after a treatment break could prove bitter in the tournament. Otherwise, however, he was solid in his play against the ball and – especially in the first half – had several good ideas in his build-up. ran-Note: 3
Jonathan Tah
Brutal counter-pressing moment before the opening goal. A little later, he made a desperate save against Szoboszlai (29′). Constantly involved in the build-up to the game. But he was easily overtaken before Hungary’s biggest chance in the second half. But that was the only flaw in a good game by the German champions. ran-Note: 3
Maximilian Mittelstädt
He keeps looking for a header with his crosses, which he hasn’t had for a long time. He still pushes forward in front of the home crowd. He gets his reward in the 67th minute when he sets up Gündogan’s goal perfectly. A strong performance from the VfB star. ran-Note: 2
Robert Andrich
Prevented the 0-1 with a block (6th). Unlucky six minutes later when his volley from a Kroos corner didn’t find the net. Left a few holes in the center here and there in the first half, especially in the wild phase after the 1-0. Goes off 20 minutes before the end. Can comes on for him. ran-grade: 3
Toni Kroos
Back in charge. Initiates every attack. Cuts through the deep Hungarian defense with precise passes and takes dangerous corners on top of that. As usual, extremely accurate passing. ran-Note: 1
Jamal Musiala
The Bayern star is not only always where the music is playing. He usually also has the biggest instrument with him. Absolute difference maker – and scores the opening goal in an inimitable way. When the 21-year-old sets up, the Hungarians usually just watch. He leaves the field after the second German goal. Saving energy for future tasks. ran-Note: 1
Ilkay Gundogan
The captain remained strong in the action against Orban before the 1-0 and forced the goal. He played very convincingly again because he was tireless. He constantly started deep when the German number nine was being sought from midfield. His 19th international goal (67th) was not only a relief for him, but also for all the fans, who bid him farewell with a standing ovation after 84 minutes. ran-Note: 1
Florian Wirtz
He travels a lot, but for a long time he hasn’t had that one magical moment. It doesn’t come until Nagelsmann takes him off the pitch after just under an hour. Nevertheless, the Leverkusen player can’t be denied his effort. In the first half, he covered the most distance of all the players. ran-Note: 3
Kai Havertz
Has the first shot on goal (5th minute), but shortly before that there was a situation that could have resulted in more. Very strong against Orban after eleven minutes, but not accurate in his finish. After that he was constantly looked for, but in some situations he played as a wall player with slightly incorrect passing decisions. Makes way for Füllkrug after just under an hour. ran-Note: 3
Leroy Sane
Comes on for Wirtz (58′). Again gets stuck on counterattacks. ran-Note: 3
Niclas Füllkrug
Replaces Havertz and moves into the usual center of the attack (58′). A header chance. ran-Note: 3
Emre Can
The Dortmund player will also be used in the second European Championship game, when he routinely replaces Andrich in defensive midfield (72′). ran-Note: 3
Chris Führich
Huge cheers when he was substituted (72′). Stuttgart love their winger. But he is unable to take advantage of the free space in the final phase. ran-Note: 3
Deniz Undav
The third Stuttgart player is also allowed to collect minutes in the European Championship shortly before the end when he comes on for Gündogan (84′). ran-Note: Without rating
