The U21 turn the game against Latvia – the Moukoko show continues!
On the second day of the European Championship qualification, Germany’s U21s beat Latvia 3: 1 behind. This brings the Kuntz-Elf one step closer to the goal of “Georgia 2023”.
Exceptional talent Youssoufa Moukoko (16) scores for the third time in his second U-21 game. The BVB boy only celebrated his record debut on Thursday – 16 years, 286 days – in a win against San Marino (6-0).
After a weak initial phase and a surprise deficit by Korotkovs (8th minute), Germany fights back into the game.
Then crazy 90 seconds!
▶ 24. Minute: Penalty for Germany. Burkhardt steps up, Latte! The ball jumps from the aluminum to the shin of a Latvian – from there dangerously onto the goal. Latvia goalkeeper Orols can just prevent the own goal with a brilliant save.
▶ 25th minute: The subsequent corner, confusion in the Letten penalty area. The ball comes to Thiaw, who passes Sturm-Juwel Moukoko. A catch, then the conclusion of the 16: 1: 1!
Suddenly Germany is in the game!

In the 42nd minute, Hoffenheim’s Stiller made a 2-1 lead. Game shot, Germany on the winning route. Shortly after the break (48th), Schalke defender Thiaw made everything clear with his head: 3: 1. The final result.
The reigning European champion has six points after two qualifying games – and is well on the way to EM 2023.
U21 coach Stefan Kuntz (58) after the game: “I’m happy with the result.”
With Mega-Moukoko in your quiver you can defend your title!
