It was a beautiful evening for the German National Football Team and its teeming supporters in Russia, back home in Germany and the rest of the world as it won its very first FIFA Confederations Cup despite using a relatively young group of virtually unknown players for the tournament by defeating a highly rated Chilean National Team at a game played in St. Petersburg in Russia.

When I say virtually unknown players, it might better be explained this way; most of us know a Gotze, a Muller, a Schweinsteiger, Neuer and names like that. But then how many of us know the player who goes by the name Lars Stindl?

Well, since yesterday evening, we now know that name, right? Yeah, he scored the lone goal that gave the “German Machine” their first FIFA Confederations Cup title.

I keep wondering how many people in Germany and abroad would have crucified the German Coach Joachim Löw if this experiment had gone wrong eventually. But then this shows the characteristics of a good coach, the ability to take measured risks as you try to look into the future of your whatever you are engaged in.

As for the match proper, it lived up to expectations as both teams put up a brilliant display of attacking football in a game that could easily have produced three or more goals but for the fact that many of the chances created were either frittered away or saved by brilliant goal-keeping.

The lone goal itself came as a result of an error on the part of Diaz. The Chilean player inexplicably lost the ball just on the edge of his penalty area to a prowling Timo Werner. The RB Leipzig striker wasted no time in finding an equally lurking Lars Stindl who found the back of the net from close range leaving Claudio Bravo in goal for the Chilean team livid with anger.

The goal-keeper had to come to the rescue of his team once again just some minutes before the break to stop the Germans from increasing their lead as he blocked a shot at goal from Goretzka after yet another error form the Chilean backline, with Jara the culprit this time around. He is the one in photo above found elbowing Timo Werner, an act that earned him a yellow card gift.

On the whole it was a well deserved win for a country that had only just two days back won the European Under-21 Championship in Poland. This goes on tell everyone that their victory here was no fluke.
