Newcastle Star Woltemade Shines as Germany Edge Closer to World Cup Qualification
15 Nov
Summary
- Newcastle striker Nick Woltemade scores two goals to help Germany beat Luxembourg
- Germany now on brink of World Cup qualification after the 6-0 victory
- Woltemade has scored 3 goals in his last 2 international games
On November 15, 2025, Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade played a starring role as Germany edged closer to World Cup qualification with a 6-0 victory over Luxembourg. The 23-year-old forward scored two goals in the second half to spare Germany's blushes against the minnows.
Germany had struggled to break down Luxembourg's resolute defense in the first half, but Woltemade's introduction proved to be the difference. Latching onto a cross from Leroy Sane, the 6ft 6in striker opened the scoring in the 49th minute with a well-timed finish. He then doubled Germany's lead shortly after, running onto a delightful pass from Ridle Baku and shrugging off two defenders before slotting the ball into the bottom corner.
The victory means Germany now lead Group A in the World Cup qualifiers, setting up a winner-takes-all clash against Slovakia on Monday. Woltemade, who has now scored three goals in his last two international appearances, will be hoping to lead his side to the tournament in the United States, Mexico, and Canada next summer.
