Germany, automatically qualified for Euro 2024 as the host country, welcomed Turkey at the Olympiastadion for a friendly match. Manager Julian Nageslmann made some changes to the starting lineup by including Kai Havertz on the left side of the defense. Despite an early goal from the Gunner, the German team suffered a 2-3 defeat at home.
The visitors turned the game around with goals from Ferdi Kadioglu (1-1, 38th minute) and Kenan Yildiz (1-2, 45+2nd minute), before Nicklas Füllkrug equalized shortly after the halftime break (2-2, 49th minute). Former Marseille player Yusuf Sari ultimately secured the victory for Vincenzo Montella’s team with a goal in the 70th minute, marking a significant win for Turkey 15 years after their defeat in the Euro 2008 semi-finals.
It was a captivating match with a bit of history repeating itself, as the Turkish team proved their strength on German soil.
