Niclas Füllkrug scored the match-tying goal against Spain to help them save from embarrassment. Füllkrug has starred in Germany’s second division but made his impact known in the biggest stage.
"I’m very relaxed in these situations because it’s not the first goal I’ve scored, nor is it the first important goal I’ve scored," he said after the match. "We’re already preparing for the next game because this goal from me will do little for us if we don’t survive the group phase."
