As Havertz missed the opportunity to score, Kroos stepped up and not only kindly calmed his teammates, but also motivated the whole team to keep their fighting spirit. The experienced veteran firmly believes that as long as the team maintains possession of the ball, it is only a matter of time before a goal is scored, and the key is for the players not to get discouraged. Klaus' timely support greatly boosted his teammates' morale and confidence. As the game entered the 92nd minute, substitute Phil Kruger equalized the score to 1:1 with a precise header, a valuable goal that came almost at the last minute. With this draw, Germany secured first place in the group and won the right to go out. After the goal, members of the team celebrated with enthusiastic hugs, a scene that not only reflects the cohesion of the team, but also highlights the leadership style of the veterans - one of the key factors in Germany's successful equalization.
It is worth mentioning that once the top spot in Group A is confirmed, Germany is likely to meet Spain in the last eight. However, as long as Kroos and other veterans are still present, Germany is capable of meeting any challenge. We also expect the host team to show a higher level of performance in the coming matches. In addition, after Germany advanced to the round of 16, it has accumulated a third bonus, including 9.25 million euros for the 24th round, 2 wins and 1 loss in the group stage won 2.5 million U.S. dollars in bonuses and 1.5 million euros in additional bonuses, winning a total of 13.25 million euros in bonuses.
