The loss sees Germany in second place in their World Cup qualifying group behind group leaders Armenia, who have won 3 out of the 3 World Cup qualifying matches played so far.
Speaking to the German Football Federation (DFB) after the match, Serge Gnabry said:
Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan, who scored from the spot for Germany, was left fuming with his side’s performance. Speaking to the German national team’s official website, the midfielder said:
Germany’s lack of clinical finishing cost them the match as Timo Werner missed an extremely presentable chance in the second half. Timo Werner is struggling for form and confidence in front of goal and this miss would not have done him any favors.
Timo Werner is getting into the right positions but has been struggling to put the ball into the back of the net. Considered to be one of the game’s premier strikers last season, Timo Werner made a big money move to Chelsea. Much was expected of the Germany international but he has so far failed to deliver in the Premier League.
The miss from Timo Werner proved to be extremely costly as Eljif Elmas grabbed a late winner to secure a historic win for his country. Germany’s manager Joachim Low also cut a frustrated figure. Speaking to the DFB website, he said:
Germany will need to pick themselves up massively and get their act together before the European Championships in the summer.
