Germany beats USA 2-1 in final World Cup tune-up

Germany secured a 2-1 victory over the USA in their final World Cup warm-up match, with Leroy Sané scoring the decisive goal. Kai Havertz opened the scoring for the German team in the second minute, heading home a free-kick from Joshua Kimmich. However, the USA equalized in the 37th minute through Antonee Robinson, who struck a volley from distance after a corner kick.

Following their early lead, Germany lost some control of the game, allowing the USA to create more opportunities. USA's Weston McKennie had chances early in the second half, but goalkeeper Oliver Baumann made saves, though McKennie was also flagged for offside on one occasion.

Germany increased their intensity after halftime, and their pressure paid off in the 57th minute when Sané scored from 12 meters after build-up play involving Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz. The USA pushed for an equalizer late in the game, but Baumann made a crucial save to deny Brenden Aaronson, preserving Germany's win. This victory follows Germany's dominant 4-0 win against Finland last Sunday.
