Eintracht Frankfurt defender Robin Koch expressed excitement after Germany took a 1-0 lead with a goal from Florian Wirtz. However, he observed a noticeable decline in performance as the match progressed, stating that they struggled to penetrate the opposing defense effectively. The article discusses the uncertainty surrounding the cause of the team's failure, whether due to player fatigue or tactical errors from head coach Julian Nagelsmann. Moving forward, Germany aims to correct these issues in their upcoming third-place match.

All Germany can do is seek to avoid the same mistakes in the third place game on Sunday.
