Johannes Eggestein led the Germany U21s to another qualifying victory: Tuesday night’s 2-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina leaves the team with a maximum six points from the opening two games. Marco Friedl and Austria’s U21s had a less successful evening against England, while Michael Lang picked up three points with Switzerland from their encounter with Ireland.  

Two wins from two, seven scored, one conceded: Germany’s U21s are well on track for reaching the U21 European championship 2021. Leading the way as captain: Werder’s very own Johannes Eggestein, who played 77 minutes of the 2-0 win against Bosnia-Herzegovina. 

Michael Lang’s Switzerland also enjoyed a 2-0 win over group leaders Ireland in Stade de Genève. Lang did not feature in the qualifier. 

Elsewhere, Marco Friedl and the U21 Austria national team were beaten 5-1 at home to England, who are yet to lose in the current qualifying campaign. Friedl played the full game. 

Josh Sargent also played the full 90 minutes for the US national soccer team in their CONCACAF Nations League game against Canada, but could not prevent a 2-0 defeat to their neighbours.
