Germany Pegged Back Three Times By Turkey In Cologne by Debstegab100(m): 10:07pm On Oct 07, 2020
With all Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig players in the squad rested ahead of two UEFA Nations League games to come during this international break, Joachim Löw handed a senior debut to Gladbach's Neuhaus.

Despite a number of changes to the usual line-up, Germany started strongly against Turkey. Draxler thought he had opened the scoring after six minutes on the rebound, but Germany's captain on the night was offside after Waldschmidt's initial shot was saved.

Borussia Dortmund pair Nico Schulz and Julian Brandt went close with chances of their own around the half-hour mark but with the game looking to be going into the break level, a moment of magic opened the scoring.

Former Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz sent Draxler in on goal and his lofted finish over Mert Günok put Germany ahead at half-time.

Turkey immediately responded five minutes into the second half with former Fortuna Düsseldorf defender Kaan Ayhan finding captain Ozan Tufan, who turned past Brandt and curled past Bernd Leno to level the score. Less than 10 minutes later and the Germany lead was restored however thanks to a debut goal for Neuhaus, who exchanged a one-two with Havertz before slotting the ball home.

Löw's side were pegged back for a second time just nine minutes later, though, as Neuhaus was dispossessed in a dangerous position and Efecan Karaca took advantage to slot past Leno.

Both Jonas Hofmann and Mahmoud Dahoud came on for their senior debuts in the second half to help Germany take a third lead of the game. Schalke 's Ozan Kabak – on as a substitute – cleared a cross only as far as Waldschmidt in the Turkey penalty area, and his strike was too hot for Günok to keep out.

Germany looked set for victory until Düsseldorf's Kenan Karaman was found in the box to slot home in injury time for a third Turkey equaliser to share the spoils on an entertaining night at the
RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne.
