“The group of deaths would have been almost fatal”

The press comments on the game of the DFB-Elf against Hungary are unanimous: luck for Germany shortly before the end against strong Hungarians. While a gazette is reminiscent of the “miracle of Bern”, British newspapers in particular are already looking at the round of 16 against England.

Great Britain:

The Guardian: “On a stormy night in Munich Germany narrowly missed a catastrophe against Hungary and were six minutes away from finishing Group F last and leaving the tournament after the first stage. Leon Goretzka’s late goal lifted the team back in second place and made sure that a defensive performance riddled with mistakes was not severely punished. ”

Daily Mail: “That was the toughest fight and if England worries Germany as much next Tuesday, Gareth Southgate’s side will not be scourged no matter the outcome. Hungary faced the team that have the best 90 minutes of football in the competition to date played – against Portugal – and came so close to winning. “

The Sun: “The Three Lions will be anything but tremble at the prospect of the Wembley Showdown on Tuesday. They are more likely to enjoy it a lot. Because Joachim Löw’s team did not storm into the round of 16, they stuttered and stumbled out of the group of deaths. And the substitute would have Goretzka did not score the cruelest and most heartbreaking goal eight minutes before the end, the team would have been eliminated. ”

Spain:

Marca: “In the end, Germany prevents a disaster against heroic Hungary. The group of deaths would have been almost fatal – for Germany.”

As: “Three years after the debacle at the World Cup in Russia, the team was on the verge of retiring from a group stage. Goretzka’s last breath was enough to compensate for the courageous and always unwieldy Hungary. (…) Löw breathes a sigh of relief . ”

Mundo Deportivo: “Saved by the gong. After a painful equalization against the surprising Hungary, who pushed the team to the limit, Germany moved into the second round of the last 16 as group runner-up.”

Sports: “The miracle did not materialize. The Hungarian national team was on the verge of avenging the heroes of 1954. (…) Goretzka saved Germany from a great Hungary.”

Italy:

La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Germany continues with a thrill. Hungary is twice ahead, in the 83rd Goretzka Löw saves Germany with difficulty.”

Tuttosport: “Goretzka saves Löw. Rossi’s Hungary misses the heroic deed. Germany saves itself at the last moment.”

Corriere dello Sport: “Goretzka ends Mr. Rossi’s dreams. Löw’s Germany is about to end until six minutes before the end.”

Corriere della Sera: “How much this Germany suffers, which only tames Hungary at the last minute. A valuable draw for the Germans, who will prevent the embarrassment. Now the big challenge against England.”

Portugal:

A bola: “The German tanks destroy the fragile Portuguese defenses.”

Austria:

Kronen Zeitung: “It was right, really close! (…) It was a tremendous match for our neighbors. A goal from Leon Goretzka in the 84th minute saved Jogi Löw from a disgrace.”
