In the first stage of the World Cup European qualifying, a group match begins, with Germany visiting Northern Ireland as a guest. Germany achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in the first three group matches, first losing to Slovakia, and then defeating Northern Ireland and Luxembourg. Northern Ireland also had 2 wins and 1 loss in its first three group matches. When Germany faced Northern Ireland in the first leg, they won the game 3-1. Now when they meet again, the German team is bound to win. As a result, with the goal of Premier League star Walter Mader, the German team won the game and completed a double play!

The German team has a 4141 formation. Walter Mader was at the front. The offensive combination of Wirtz, Goretzka, Gnabry and Adeyemi worked together. Pavlovich singled out the midfielder. The back four of Laum, Schlotterbeck, Yonatan Tower and Kimmich started. Oliver Bowman serves as the starting goalkeeper. The total value of the German team's starting lineup is 452 million euros. The total value of Northern Ireland's starting lineup is only 57.1 million euros.

Not long after the game started, Wirtz volleyed hard in the penalty area, but the kick missed. This shot was a bit outrageous. 7 minutes later, Ballard scored the ball. However, a teammate was offside and the goal was invalid. In the 20th minute, Pavlovich took a long shot from the top of the penalty area and missed. In the 28th minute, Jamie Reid fouled and was shown a yellow card.

In the 31st minute, the German team scored! Raum took a corner kick, Walter Mader leaped high in front of the goal, headed the ball into the left side of the goal. The angle of this header is really tricky. The goalkeeper could only watch as the ball hit the net. Northern Ireland is in trouble. In the 45th minute, Reed's shot from the center of the penalty area missed. At halftime, the German team led Northern Ireland 1-0.

In the second half, the game changed sides and Northern Ireland made substitution adjustments. Morganis came on as a substitute and replaced Reid. In the 46th minute, Adeyemi got an excellent single-shot opportunity, but his shot missed. It was incredible. In the 60th minute, Galbraith shot a low shot from the front of the penalty area to the near corner, slightly missing the left post.

In the 70th minute, Gnabry shot angrily from the right side of the penalty area and was thrown out. In the 90th minute, Marshall shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area and the goalkeeper saved the ball. In the end, the German team defeated Northern Ireland 1-0 and won 3 consecutive victories. The German team had 3 wins and 1 loss, scored 9 points, and ranked first in the group. Slovakia also has the same record, ranking second with a goal difference disadvantage. The first two points are the same, and the competition in this group is still quite fierce.
