Germany extends their winning run with a 2-0 victory over Israel. It was a relatively comfortable game for the hosts, with both goals coming in the first half.
Havertz flicked a corner in at the near post before Werner poked Gundogan’s free-kick past Marciano just before the break.
Werner had a goal ruled out for offside, and Germany won a late penalty, but Muller smacked that off the outside of the post.
Israel then had a chance for a consolation in the final minute from the spot, but Trapp got down to deny Cohen.

GERMANY STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): Marc-Andre ter Stegen;

Goals:
HAVERTZ SCORES! He does beat Marciano this time! The corner is brilliantly curled in by Raum, and Havertz is at the front of the crowd in the box. He flicks his header on at the near post, and Marciano can only watch as it nestles into the back of his net. 1-0 Germany.
WERNER SCORES! Germany won a free kick just outside the box to the left. Gundogan goes for the inswinger, and Werner peels away to the near post, getting in front of Avraham to help poke it past Marciano and into the near bottom corner. 2-0 Germany.
