Niclas Fuellkrug headed in an 85th minute goal to give Euro 2024 hosts Germany a 2-1 comeback victory over Netherlands in their international friendly on Tuesday (Mar 26) and make it two victories from two matches in the past four days. The result gave the Germans another big shot of confidence following Saturday's 2-0 win against France, as they look to field a battle-worthy team for the tournament on home soil after years of disappointing international performances. It was also the first time in his six internationals in charge that coach Julian Nagelsmann, who took over in September, earned back-to-back wins.
Germany continued their preparations for this summer's Euro 2024 finals with a win over the Netherlands and boost confidence they can challenge on home soil.
Fresh from an impressive 2-0 success in France on Saturday, the Germans sealed a fightback against the Dutch in Frankfurt with Niclas Fullkrug's 85th-minute winner.
The Dutch led through Joey Veerman's fourth-minute volley, before Maximilian Mittelstadt equalised seven minutes later.
Borussia Dortmund striker Fullkrug headed in late as Germany earned back-to-back wins for the first time under boss Julian Nagelsmann.
"The win does us a lot of good," said Nagelsmann, whose team had not won in their previous three matches going into this international break.
The Euro 2024 finals will begin on Jun 14 at the Allianz Arena in Munich when Germany play Scotland.
The pair are joined in Group A by Hungary and Switzerland.
The Netherlands, who made several changes from their victory over Scotland last week, have been drawn in Group D alongside Poland, Austria and France.
The tournament concludes on Jul 14, with the final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
