For a significant period, it seemed like the DFB team was on the brink of facing humiliation against Ivory Coast.
However, with just thirty minutes remaining, Nagelsmann showcased his remarkable skills once again.

Substitutions brought on Leweling, Amiri, and of course, Undav in place of Pavlovic, Musiala, and Sané. Deniz Undav, the star from VfB, resumed his impressive form in the German national team.
In less than ten minutes, he found the back of the net. Undav initiated the play, linked up with Amiri, and positioned himself perfectly in front of the goal. From Amiri’s assist, he effortlessly volleyed the ball beneath the crossbar, leveling the score at 1-1.
This goal was met with raucous cheers from the German supporters, and it seems likely that Deniz Undav, who will turn 30 on the day of the final, may once again be crucial in helping the DFB side avoid defeat.

Who knows—he might even have a few more moments to further showcase his abilities as a super sub and turn the game around completely.
One question remains: regardless of the outcome, shouldn’t this in-form Undav really be a starter? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
