Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Rt.com: “Germans salvage draw but World Cup hopes in the balance”. Below is an excerpt from the article.
Germany salvaged a late draw against Spain in their World Cup Group E clash in Qatar on Sunday, but Hansi Flick’s men must now beat Costa Rica to stand any chance of reaching the knockout stages of the tournament.
Germany had appeared on course for a second successive defeat in Qatar when Alvaro Morata’s smart finish at the front post on 62 minutes gave Spain the lead at Al Bayt Stadium.
But Germany roused themselves, finding the equalizer when substitute Niclas Fullkrug lashed home from inside the box with seven minutes of normal time left on the clock.
Werder Bremen striker Fullkrug, 29, only made his national team debut on the eve of the tournament, but emerged as his country’s savior as Germany avoided suffering another defeat after their shock opening game loss to Japan.
Japan’s own surprise defeat against Costa Rica earlier on Sunday means Group E is finely poised heading into the last round of games on Thursday.
