First shot on target from Havertz

2′ Switzerland 0-0 Germany

Maybe it’s too early to be making grand, sweeping professions of love for players.

But Jamal Musiala, goodness gracious. He gets the ball, back to goal, in his own half on the right touchline, Remo Freuler at his back.

A touch to control, a delicate caress to bring it under his spell and then he somehow levers himself out of danger, driving forward seemingly effortlessly into the vast green expanses of the Switzerland half.

He rather rattles it into Ilkay Gundogan’s feet as he aims to break through, it’s a decent attempt at a first touch, but slightly loose, and Fabian Schar recovers to put it out for a corner.
