00:00Hello and welcome.

00:12This is the sharp end of the European qualifiers for next year's FIFA Men's World Cup.

00:17And tonight we're all set in Luxembourg City for the meeting of two neighbours in Group

00:21A as Luxembourg welcomed Germany on match day five of six.

00:26So now is the stage where every point in every goal assumes added weight and significance

00:31in pursuit of automatic qualification which cannot be assured tonight.

00:36The Group A constellation has Germany and Slovakia level at the summit on nine points.

00:42Tonight in Kosice they go home to Northern Ireland before on Monday the group concludes in Leipzig

00:47with Germany keen to avenge September's loss in Bratislava with the return meeting with Slovakia.

00:53Now if Germany and Slovakia both win tonight and Monday's game is drawn then goal difference becomes a factor.

00:59In essence who's put the most goals past the bottom team Luxembourg might become decisive.

01:05Luxembourg start, the team who are so far pointless.

01:15It's 20 years since they last had a group in the World Cup without a single point taken.

01:21They've scored just one goal so far across their first four matches in this year's qualifying cycle.

01:26Here's Janss away by Baku for Germany.

01:31All of some dispossessed here by Goretzka.

01:34Goretzka, Florian Wietz!

01:38The first save of the night there for Maurice across to push the ball away from Wietz.

01:43Iman Dardari, good ball for Borrero here for Luxembourg.

01:50The pullback for Sinani!

01:53That's a great chance for the first goal for Luxembourg tonight.

01:58Danil Sinani here steals in.

02:02A miss just across the face of the goal.

02:04Zanay, Baku and here Gnabry blocked.

02:14He'll try again with the second shot and this one's wide.

02:20Gnabry here has two bites of this.

02:22The first one repelled by Olesen or maybe Valtemar in the way but his own player.

02:27And the second in the end was somewhere wide of Maurice's goal.

02:34The first shot here off Valtemar, a second past the post.

02:44It's Zanay for Valtemar!

02:49Clinical!

02:51And just like that, the goal to blow away the nerves of the German team tonight,

02:59to blow the anxiety away and to put them back on course.

03:05The pass to Zanay who got that ball under his spell magnificently.

03:09And then Valtemar steals in.

03:11The goal to break the hearts of Luxembourg and their resistance.

03:161-0 for Germany.

03:18Nick Valtemar.

03:19This is Danil Sinani all rather tight.

03:22And Dardari!

03:22And goodness me again!

03:25This young man goes very close for Luxembourg.

03:28A man with so little first-team club experience has shone for Luxembourg tonight.

03:36And this one another one that got away really for the home team.

03:38This is really close again to Barman's bottom corner.

03:44Now to Marvin Martins.

03:47Olivier Thiel and there Christopher Martins couldn't finish well.

03:51Another good chance comes and goes here for Luxembourg tonight.

03:55Here is Zanay.

04:02Zanay, no Baku.

04:06Valtemar does it again.

04:12Valtemar!

04:12His first international brace at senior level.

04:19Again Zanay on his recall has a big hand in this.

04:23He's done well tonight Leroy Zanay.

04:26And here Baku the assist provider for Nick Valtemar.

04:33You shouldn't say a man who's born into 1980s growing into the role.

04:38But he is now as Germany's leading attacker at the moment in that centre-forward position.

04:44Valtemar's goal for 2-0 Germany.

04:47That's now 3-2 caps for the big man from Newcastle.

04:52Viertz on to Mecha.

04:54And Mecha hits one.

04:56And there a tremendous reaction save to push it away from the goalkeeper Moise.

05:02And Mecha can unload a real rocket at times.

05:06And this one, one of those.

05:08Good save by Moise.

05:10This one clattered by Mecha.

05:13The goalkeeper says no.

05:18Nick Valtemar, the big man again, comes up big for Germany.

05:23As in the last game in Belfast.

05:25He is decisive once again for Julian Nagelsmann here for Germany.

05:29Luxembourg gave this one absolutely everything.

05:32They played really well tonight, but Valtemar's first ever senior international double is decisive.

05:40It means the Germans will go into the last matchday as the leaders of Group A to face Slovakia on Monday in Leipzig.

05:48And Valtemar again comes up clutch for Nagelsmann and for Germany.

05:55For Strasser and Luxembourg, they gave this one a lock, but a lock was not enough.

06:00Because the Germans in the second half found a way.

06:04And found Nick Valtemar to be the difference maker.

06:07The full-time score here, it ends Luxembourg nil, Germany 2.

06:11Here we go.
