CZECH REPUBLIC 1 GERMANY 2: HUMMELS EXTENDS WORLD CHAMPIONS' PERFECT RECORD WITH LATE HEADER
Germany made it seven wins out of seven in Group C with a 2-1 win over Czech Republic in Prague thanks to a late Mats Hummels header.
Mats Hummels' late header snatched a 2-1 win for Germany over Czech Republic as the world champions extended their perfect record in Group C of World Cup qualifying.
Vladimir Darida's wondergoal appeared to have given Czech Republic a boost in their attempt to reach the 2018 World Cup when his brilliant strike picked out the top corner from 25 yards.
But the world champions had other ideas and made it seven wins out of seven thanks to Hummels powering in a header from a flighted Toni Kroos free-kick with only three minutes remaining at the Eden Arena on Friday.
RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner earned a starting berth with three goals in four appearances at the Confederations Cup and he justified his selection in attack almost immediately.
