Germany knew before the encounter that a win for them would give them the ticket for the big tournament to be hosted in Qatar and they did themselves lots of good by getting the three points.

The European football powerhouse scored all their four goals against North Macedonia in the second half of the encounter.

Playing in front of their fans, North Macedonia wanted to impress, but they found it difficult against a compact Germany side who were more determined.

The two teams were unable to get any goal in the first half as they went into the dressing rooms goalless.

Germany came out aggressively in the second half and they waited until the 50th minute before netting their first goal through Kai Havertz.

Chelsea striker Timo Werner added two more goals for Germany in the 70th and 73rd minute before Jamal Musiala scored the fourth and last goal in the 83rd minute.
