Germany secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Northern Ireland in World Cup qualifying, with Nick Woltemade's goal proving decisive despite a closely contested encounter. Northern Ireland's compact 5-4-1 setup generated 12 shots and 1.15 expected goals, demonstrating resilience against Germany's 4-4-1-1 formation, though only three efforts found the target. Germany's efficiency proved crucial; despite registering 1.0 xG from 11 shots, they converted their limited clear-cut chances, with their goalkeeper maintaining a 50 per cent save rate against the hosts' attacking forays. The visitors' clinical finishing separated two evenly matched sides in a match where neither team dominated territorially. Germany's victory maintains their qualifying momentum and strengthens their group position.
Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
