In front of a crowd of 37,743 in Hartford, Christian Pulisic scored first, but Germany captain Ilkay Gündogan equalized before the break, and Niclas Füllkrug, who scored his eighth goal in his 10th international game, and Jamal Musiala completed the turnaround after switching sides with close goals within three minutes.
Nagelsmann emulated his predecessors on the bench, Rudi Völler, Jürgen Klinsmann, Joachim Löw and Hansi Flick, who also led the team to victory in their first matches. Under Flick, the Germans won only the first of six games, but after his dismissal on September 10 after Germany’s 1-4 debacle with Japan, they beat the world vice-champions France 2-1 in the warm-up under the leadership of temporary coach Völler, the sports director of the association.
On Wednesday night, the Germans will face Mexico in Philadelphia.
Preliminary football match: Hartford: USA – Germany 1:3 (1:1) Goals: 27. Pulisic – 39. Gündogan, 58. Füllkrug, 61. Musiala
