For much of the game, Germany’s Euro 2024 match against Switzerland seemed destined for frustration, reminiscent of a delayed German train. However, Niclas Füllkrug’s 92nd-minute header secured a 1-1 draw, providing a memorable moment for Julian Nagelsmann’s side and the country. Germany dominated the game, with 18 shots on goal and over 60% possession, making the equalizer feel well-deserved.
The match was filled with drama, including two disallowed goals, a yellow card for Jonathan Tah, and a stunning save from Manuel Neuer. The last-minute equalizer was the perfect culmination of a wild game.
While it wasn’t a winner, it was a moment players cherish and fans never forget. German fans in Frankfurt and beyond will remember where they were when Füllkrug scored, much like Oliver Neuville’s last-minute winner against Poland in the 2006 World Cup.
David Raum, who delivered the cross for Füllkrug, drew parallels to that iconic moment, highlighting the importance of this thrilling draw. “It was similar to that moment in 2006 when Oliver Neuville scored against Poland,” Raum said.
“These are the moments we live for, and the fans will never forget them.” The draw keeps Germany’s Euro 2024 hopes alive, and while the team’s journey may have been frustrating at times, this moment will be etched in memory forever. As the final whistle blew, German players celebrated with relief and joy, knowing they had secured a crucial point in the tournament.
