Match overview
Germany seized an early advantage through Möller’s deflected strike and rarely relinquished control. Klinsmann bundled in a second after Keller parried Heinrich’s low drive. The United States rallied briefly, Hejduk flashing a shot wide, yet Vogts’ experienced side managed the tempo expertly, despite picking up three cautions.
Trivia
This encounter was the first competitive meeting between the nations. Klinsmann’s goal moved him to 10 World Cup strikes, equalling Grzegorz Lato and Gary Lineker at the time.
