"Having made five changes to the side that suffered an historic defeat, Julian Nagelsmann saw his team make a fast start as Nick Woltemade, another whose performance against Slovakia earned criticism, won the ball in midfield and played through Gnabry, who lofted the ball over Bailey Peacock-Farrell. Despite dominating possession, Germany struggled to build on that opening goal and struggled for rhythm as Northern Ireland pressed high and began to cause problems."
"David Raum was denied by Peacock-Farrell with an effort on the turn from the edge of the area before Waldemar Anton headed over. Peacock-Farrell produced heroics to thwart Wirtz after a stunning left-wing cross from Joshua Kimmich, but Northern Ireland's resistance was broken when Raum's ball from the same flank deceived their goalkeeper, allowing Amiri to tap into an empty net."
Germany recovered from a shock 2-0 defeat in Bratislava to beat Northern Ireland 3-1 in Cologne in World Cup qualifying. Serge Gnabry opened early before Isaac Price volleyed Northern Ireland level in the 34th minute. Julian Nagelsmann made five changes and introduced Nadiem Amiri and Maximilian Beier after the hour. Sustained German pressure produced Raum's cross that deceived the goalkeeper, allowing Amiri to score in the 69th minute. Florian Wirtz then secured the win with a long-range free-kick. Bailey Peacock-Farrell made several notable saves for Northern Ireland but could not prevent the German comeback.
