UMuller unikezwe elinye ithuba legolide lokulinganisa ukuma ngemuva kokuthi uSterling edlulise ibhola walibuyisela ngqo kuHavertz, owadlala uThomas Muller waze wayoshaya igoli.

Ngenkathi umgadli waseJalimane eqonde kunozinti uJordani Pickford, inkundla yathula gcwaka, ilindele lokho okwakubonakala kuyinto engenakugwemeka.

Kodwa ushaye ibhola laya ngaphezu kwezinti.

Futhi ngomzuzu wama-86, ongene esikhundleni somunye uJack Grealish uthumele i-cross efanelekile kuHarry Kane obengaphansi kwengcindezi ukuze ashaye igoli.

Ababukeli bebecula ingoma ethi-“It’s coming home” – ingoma evame ukuculwa ngokungajwayelekile.
