We'll be back with more action from Euro 2024 tomorrow!
Their Akanji-led backline was well-drilled and as robust as they come. But only until Nagelsmann threw in Fullkurg, a nasty forward to contain for any defense. His header looped into the net in the 92nd minute, helping Germany pick up a point and retain the top spot.
THEY LEFT IT LATE. A LITTLE TOO LATE. BUT THE EQUALIZER HAS ARRIVED FINALLY. Raum drills in an inch-perfect cross from the left, and it's Fullkurg in all his glory who heads it home. Scores are level. Germany are back on top of the points table.
Switzerland, who had been struggling for a while to break forward, stitches a few passes together before Ruben Vargas was sent through down the left. Spotting Neuer pushing outside his box, Vargas buried the ball into the far post with his side step. But the referee immediately blew for an offside, and the replays backed the call.
Sommer manages to get a solid hand to Kroos' tempting free-kick from the left side, but it falls favorably for the German substitute waiting unmarked to the right of the box. With a quick touch to set himself up, he lines up a left-footed volley and sends it zipping past the far post.
The Swiss goalkeeper then gathers the loose ball safely.
Maximilian Beier on for Andrich. A little surprising. But maybe it's Germany trying out an unhinged attacking system.
Andrich pushes up the field and cuts the ball back for Toni Kroos, who shapes his body up for one of those signature curlers from outside the area, but it clobbers into the advertising boards.
Joshua Kimmich lobs a glorious long ball up the pitch, and Musiala gets on the end of it. His first touch is a no-nonsense volley that is parried away by Yan Sommer. The rebound falls for Gundogan, but not quite kindly, and the follow-up effort ends wide.
Hastiness in passing. A bit of clumsiness in defensive scenarios on the break. Lack of fluidity in the final third. There's plenty to be worked on for Germany, but there's an entire half for that to still play out.
We haven't quite seen that through the first two fixtures, but neither have we seen them trail. They've been hasty in the final third. Musiala probably overcompensating for the part he played in that Swiss goal. Wirtz a bit invisible. Passes a bit overcooked.
The Germany center-back will now miss his side's next match after collecting two yellows.
A bit frustrating for the hosts.
The Bologna winger was enjoying his time on the pitch tonight. Minutes after bagging his maiden goal for Switzerland, he was mighty close to popping a second.
Where has that come from? We weren't prepared. Germany weren't clearly prepared. And here stands Switzerland, leading Germany on the night and the points table.
Musiala loses the ball in his own half, allowing Switzerland to catch out the German backline. Freuler delivered a precise cross from the left to the near post, where Ndoye popped up and volleyed it into the roof of the net.
In an attempt to reach Mittlestadt's cross, Jamal Musiala ended up catching Aebischer, and the referee decided it as a clear foul after consulting with the TV officials.
After Mittelstadt’s initial cross was cleared by Aebischer, Andrich picked up the loose ball 25 yards out and fired an early shot that bounced through Sommer's hands at the near post. The elaborate celebrations for an unlikely scorer were complete before it was time for a VAR check.
We're underway in Leipzig.
So we're over with the pre-match ramble, the players are out in the middle and we're moments away from kick-off!
Switzerland haven't set the tournament alight. They rarely do. Yet, they keep performing consistently across tournaments. Some known faces turn up during these tournaments and deliver like it's Sunday league football.
The Red Cross are in a strong position to reach the EURO knockout stage for the third consecutive tournament, having secured a victory against Hungary and a draw with Scotland.
As hosts, and with the enviable silverware tally, Germany would always be the absolute favorite. But their form of late in tournaments has been disappointing for supporters, as well as neutrals. Before the ball was even kicked in Euro 2024, however, there was some hushed, renewed optimism around the team. Now after two rounds of fixtures, we know why!
Germany became the first team to secure a spot in the last 16, after winning their opening match against Scotland and following it up with a victory over Hungary. Under Julian Nagelsmann, their football has been direct, penetrative, and energizing, thanks to standout performances from Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, and Toni Kroos. Despite already qualifying, they are expected to maintain their high level of play in Frankfurt, aiming to finish the EURO group stage with a perfect record for the first time since 2012.
It's the business end. Final matchday of Group A. If you're still reeling from Max Verstappen's clinical drive in the Spanish Grand Prix, here's a better way to put it for you. Tonight is a bit like a Saturday Q2 session on changing track conditions. The frontrunners of this tournament are steadily becoming promiscuous. A few who seemed cozied up till now could fall victim to one brilliant lap from any of the outliers. It's not quite D-day for us viewers, but for a few who are pushing to survive another day, another lap, they certainly feel the heat.
There's Germany at one end tonight, already granted a spot in knockouts. And at the other, it's Switzerland. Mathematically and logically, the favorites to finish behind Die Mannschaft. But a slip-up could be costly. Scotland, who are playing Hungary at the same time, are lurking and could steal the second spot from the Swiss. There's a lot to unpack.
So, let me, Sayantan Guha, your commentator for the evening, take you through what promises to be an enthralling encounter in Frankfurt.
