Fifa world cup qualifier 2026 Woltemade Double Sends Germany Top of Group A
Germany overcame a stubborn Luxembourg side to take the top spot in Group A, thanks to Nick Woltemade’s brace. The Newcastle striker, who scored six goals in his first season at St James’ Park, opened the scoring four minutes after half-time, stabbing in Leroy Sane’s cross. He doubled Germany’s lead with just over 20 minutes remaining, sweeping in Ridle Baku’s pass.
The win puts Germany ahead of Slovakia on goal difference, with both teams assured of a top-two finish. However, the automatic qualification position is still up for grabs, with Germany and Slovakia set to face off in their final qualifying game on November 17.
Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz had a late effort blocked, but Germany’s attack was largely clinical, earning them a well-deserved three points. Woltemade’s goals are a welcome boost for the young striker, who is building on his impressive form at Newcastle.
