Germany looked fully in control from the opening minutes. They dominated possession, pinned Finland deep, and created repeated chances before finally scoring in the 34th minute, when Deniz Undav headed in Joshua Kimmich’s cross.
The second half was even stronger. Undav pressed high, won the ball, and set up Florian Wirtz for an easy finish just after halftime. Then Lennart Karl produced a sharp pass for Undav’s second goal in the 57th minute, before Jamal Musiala made it 4-0 with a powerful finish six minutes later. beIN SPORTS
Best player: Deniz Undav.
Two goals and one assist made him the clear standout. Sportsdunia rated him 9.5/10, while also highlighting Germany’s huge passing advantage and Finland’s failure to register a shot on target. Sportsdunia
Tactical takeaway: Germany’s front line looked fluid. Wirtz, Musiala, Karl, and Undav combined well, while the high press forced Finland into mistakes. Finland defended for long spells but could not escape pressure or create serious chances.
Verdict: A confident World Cup warm-up for Germany. The scoreline was deserved, and the performance showed attacking rhythm, pressing intensity, and squad depth. The bigger test will be whether Germany can reproduce that control against elite opposition.
