The positive draw against Spain with a score of 1-1 saved Germany's participation in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, in the match held during the second round of Group E at Al Bayt Stadium. Álvaro Morata scored for Spain in the 62nd minute, while Niclas Füllkrug equalized for Germany in the 83rd minute. Spain raised its points to 4, compared to 3 for both Japan and Costa Rica, and 1 point for the German team, who have a chance to qualify if they defeat Costa Rica, provided that Spain also achieves a similar result against Japan in the third and final match of the group stage next Thursday.
