Germany crushed Slovakia 6-0 to book their ticket to the 2026 World Cup, banishing memories of a poor campaign and a previous 2-0 loss by roaring into an early lead and never allowing the visitors any route back into the match. Nick Woltemade’s opener settled nerves before Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane made it three by half time, with Florian Wirtz pulling strings throughout. Ridle Baku added a fifth and teenager Assan Ouedraogo scored a deflected sixth as Nagelsmann’s side produced one of their most dominant displays in years.

Kimmich denied internal divisions but labelled the loss “an attitude issue,” highlighting poor conviction in key moments. Slovakia exploited defensive lapses, with David Hancko’s opener and David Strelec’s long-range strike exposing vulnerabilities in Julian Nagelsmann’s side, deepening Germany’s ongoing struggles in competitive matches.
