- Germany suffer first home World Cup qualifying loss since 2001
- Spain see off Kosovo despite error from goalkeeper Unai Simón
North Macedonia stunned Germany with a 2-1 World Cup qualifying victory in Duisburg, as Eljif Elmas’s 85th-minute winner earned the Balkan country what is surely their greatest ever win.
Germany dominated the first half with 70% possession, but although Leon Goretzka hit the crossbar it was the visitors who took the lead when the 37-year-old forward Goran Pandev was left unmarked in the box to tap home in first-half stoppage time.
