The first-half goal of Canto Ganaburi was enough for Germany to win 1-0 in their World Cup qualifier against Germany on Sunday. Bayern Munich winger Gennabry has now scored 15 goals in just 19 appearances for the national team. Germany hosts their hosts twice as the Romanian, with 18 shots. However, in the moribund stages the host became stronger with clear probabilities.
“We could have made it easier for ourselves,” admitted Germany midfielder Joshua Kimich.
“We were lucky in the 90th minute that they did not equal.
“We just have to decide things in advance and give ourselves a quiet evening.”
The match went on to top Germany’s Group J, who were just one goal ahead of Armenia, who had also won their first two matches.
“We used our chance if there was anything to criticize,” said Germany head coach Joachim Löw.
Loew is aiming for three straight wins from his opening 2022 World Cup qualifier.
Before the pre-match press conference, Barry White sang the chorus of the hit “You’re the First, the Last, My Everything” showing his untold build-up while imprisoned on camera.
The Germans can complete a hat-trick of victories against North Macedonia in Duisburg on Wednesday.
Secret message
Last Thursday, the German team wore a T-shirt as “human rights” from their first qualifier in a 2022 World Cup host Qatar aimed at the start of the protests.
Qatar has been heavily criticized by human rights groups for its treatment of migrant workers. Qatar disputes the claims.
In Bucharest on Sunday, the German team briefly rearranged with the number before turning their shirts upside down.
The secret message was intended to draw attention to the United Nations’ 30-point Declaration of Human Rights.
German FA account posted “We are 30!” On a photo of the team on Twitter.
Germany captain Manuel Neuer said, “We all stand not only on the pitch but also for fair play.”
“And we stand for 30 articles. We wanted to show it again.”
After racing into an early lead with a 3–0 win over Iceland in Duisburg on Thursday, Germany again wasted no time, as the same team started against Romania.
Antonio Rudiger bowled a ball in defense of Chelsea teammate Kai Havertz, who on 16 minutes shocked the ball to fire Gennaberry home.
It was about 2–0 four minutes later when Kimmich climbed the crossbar with a deflected shot from 25 meters.
It was 1-0 at the break, but Romania goalkeeper Florin Nieta kept his side in the game with quick saves in the second half.
He passed a fierce Leon Gortzka shot, then pushed the ball around the outpost with a ganabri shot, when the winger beat the two defenders on a lazy run from the halfway line.
With an hour gone, Nita thanked Ileke Gundogan after his failure to get a clean strike.
Nita was again called into action with ten minutes left by Chelsea striker Timo Werner to parry the shot.
Promoted
At the other end, Manuel Neur, who turned 35 on Saturday, was tested late, when George Puskas fired directly at the Germany goalkeeper.
Nikolay Stanciu then succumbed, but only the side netting held by the visitors could catch fire.
