This is how Hansi Flick’s men played on the second day of Group E of the World Cup in Qatar against Spain in a match that ended in a draw (1-1).
1
Manuel Neuer
Centered
The German captain scored a save in a whiplash from Dani Olmo as soon as the game started, although he had the wood as an ally after handling the ball off the crossbar and the post.
5

Thilo Kehrer
passionate
The West Ham defender made his debut in this World Cup with great enthusiasm. His momentum earned him the first yellow card of the game in the 37th minute for a nasty tackle on Ferran Torres.
3

david ram
character
The Leipzig left-back has proven to be a player with a lot of character, as he has already featured in the Champions League against Real Madrid. He gave strength to his actions and did not frown at any time.
8

Leon Goretzka
Clingy
This is one of the novelties of Hansi Flick’s starting eleven. The Bayern Munich midfielder was so strong in his actions, especially with Gavi, that he tried not to let him breathe.
fifteen

Niklas Sule
Slow
After playing at right-back in Germany’s unexpected World Cup debut against Japan, the Borussia Dortmund player has returned to central defence. Morata beat him quickly in the Spanish team’s 1-0 defeat.
two

Antonio Rudiger
Boss
The madridista is the undisputed ‘boss’ of the German defense. He displays his usual physical prowess which leads him to defend and attack as if his life depended on it. He scored with a chipped header that was invalidated by VAR.
10

Serge Gnabry
vague
He had a good chance to make it 0-0, but his shot went wide. He barely overflowed the right wing. When Sané came in he didn’t improve on the left either.
6

Joshua Kimmich
growing up
Relatively calm in the first half, he struggled to contain the Spanish midfielders. After the break, his performance improved a bit and forced Unai Simón to make a good intervention.
13

Thomas Muller
Disappearing
The veteran striker did not create any danger in the 70 minutes he was on the pitch. The Bayern attacker showed that he is not having his best year, neither as a scorer nor as an assistant.
twenty-one

Ilkay Gundogan
grey
He played behind Müller, but he didn’t know how to ‘connect’ despite his attempts. The author of Germany’s goal against Japan was always guarded by the Red’s secure defense.
14

Jamal Musiala
Extraordinary
Bayern’s 19-year-old talent showed he is a ‘rocket’ with his pace. His controls and turns on the ball are amazing. In the 75′ he had a tie, but Unai Simón avoided it and participated as an assistant in Füllkrug’s equalizing goal.
16

lukas klosterman
Consistent
He appeared late in the contest to relieve Kehrer. He gave Germany’s defensive line consistency.
23

Nico Schlotterbeck
pointless
He entered with the match almost finished by an exhausted Raum.
18

Jonas Hoffman
resource
He came on in the final minutes after replacing Gnabry to strengthen the German midfield.
9

Nicos Fullkrug
Goal scorer
The Werder Bremen striker came on for Müller and needed just 13 minutes to make it 1-1 with an unstoppable right-footer that he hit to break.
19

Leroy Sane
Appear again
After arriving at the World Cup with physical problems, he replaced Gundogan. Hansi Flick gave him a few minutes to start shaping and he looked quick, eager and seemingly recovered.
