Germany's 35-match unbeaten run in FIFA World Cup qualifiers was ended in Duisburg following a 2-1 defeat to North Macedonia.

As it happened

Match stats

• Germany met North Macedonia for the first time at senior level.
• Neuer has made 98 Germany appearances. Incredibly, he will still be outside his nation's top 10 most-capped players. Bundesliga legend Lothar Mätthaus leads the way with 150.
• Gnabry has 12 goals and six assists in his 18 Germany games since the 2018 World Cup. No other player has had a hand in more than 10 goals for Löw's side in that time.
• Jamal Musiala won his second Germany cap. Both have come as a substitute.
• Germany had won 18 World Cup qualifiers in a row and were unbeaten in their last 35. Their record is 36 between 1934 and 1985.
• Former Inter and Napoli forward Pandev has 37 goals in 117 games for North Macedonia. At 37, he is the oldest player to score past Germany in a World Cup qualifier.
