Germany secured a narrow 1–0 victory over Northern Ireland today in their UEFA 2026 World Cup qualifying fixture in Belfast. The decisive goal came in the 31st minute when Nick Woltemade headed in David Raum’s corner, marking his first goal for the national team.
Northern Ireland nearly opened the scoring earlier in the match, but their goal was ruled offside following a VAR review. In the second half, the hosts pushed hard for an equalizer, but key saves from Germany’s goalkeeper, Oliver Baumann, preserved the lead. The match ended 1–0, with Northern Ireland’s late chances going unconverted.
The result keeps Germany at the top of Group A, level on points with Slovakia but ahead on goal difference. For Northern Ireland, the defeat is a setback in their qualifying campaign and weakens their hopes of finishing at the top of the group.
