Kerim Calhanoglu scores the winning goal for Germany U20

Germany U20s won their game 2-1 against Poland U20s in Unterhaching. Tan-Kenneth Jerico Schmidt’s own goal gave the visitors the lead in the 25^th minute. In the closing stages, Hannes Wolf’s side turned the game around in part thanks to a Schalke player. First, Fisnik Asllani equalised in the 84^th minute and then three minutes later Kerim Calhanoglu set off on a remarkable solo run before bagging the winning goal with a left-footed shot into the far corner. Calhanoglu had come on in the 73^rd minute as part of a seven-man change. Mehmet Can Aydin, the other Royal Blue in the ranks of the U20 side, came off in the process.

Narrow defeat for Krauss with the U21s

The evening was less enjoyable for Tom Krauss with the U21 squad. The midfielder and his team-mates were beaten 1-0 by France in Magdeburg. Krauss, who played the full 90 minutes alongside former blue Malick Thiaw, was part of Antonio Di Salvo’s attacking movements, but in the end, the decisive goal was scored by Amine Gouiri in the 54^th minute.
