The English under-19 team just pulled off an incredible comeback. They were down 5-1 to Germany in the European Championship group stage, but managed to tie the game 5-5. This is a huge point for the English team.
They were losing 4-0 at one point, but then scored four goals in just 11 minutes to even the score. Wheatley scored first, followed by Russel-Denny, then Abbott, and finally Derry.
The German team started strong, scoring in the seventh minute and leading 4-1 at halftime. They even scored another goal early in the second half to make it 5-1. But the English team didn’t give up.
With over half an hour left to play, neither team could score again, so they each got a point. The Netherlands is currently leading the group with six points.
The English team’s comeback is even more impressive considering the German team’s strong start. El Mala scored two goals for Germany, but it wasn’t enough to secure a win.
This tie gives the English team their second point in the group stage, while Germany gets their first point. The Dutch team is still in the lead, but this game shows that anything can happen in this tournament.
