ÖFB-U17 starts strongly, but Germany turns on: 2: 2 after hot duel!

The ÖFB-U17 national team in the Spanish city of Merida has a strong start to the second qualifying round for the Euro 2025 by reaching an exciting 2-2 draw against Germany. The young players, led by team boss Hermann Stadler, showed an impressive performance. Hasan Deshishku provided an early 2-0 lead with two goals (16th and 23rd minute). Despite several good opportunities, the team failed to expand the lead because the German goalkeeper Trippel thwarted a variety of opportunities.
