Slovakia played beautiful and effective football and pulled off the surprise of the night. Many expected Germany to win, but Slovakia secured a 2-0 victory.
Betting sites made a good profit on this result.
Goalkeeper Dubravka played a key role in Slovakia's victory. Rudiger was very lackluster in defense for Germany. He was so helpless in one position in the first half that you wouldn't believe Rudiger ever played for Real Madrid. He also suffered a terrible blow in Slovakia's second goal.
