It was in connection with a duel at the beginning of the second half that it spilled over for the Bayern star. After Sané stood up and put his hands on the face of Phillip Mwene, right in front of the referee, the red card flew up quickly.

Tuesday’s 0–2 loss was Germany’s tenth consecutive international game with a goal conceded. It was also “Die Mannschaft’s” sixth loss in eleven games during the calendar year 2023. In other words, not what national team captain Julian Nagelsmann, who took over after the fired Hansi Flick earlier in the fall, hoped to end the year with.
