Germany crush Slovakia to seal World Cup berth

Berlin, Nov 18 (UNI) Germany sealed qualification for the 2026 World Cup with a commanding 6-0 win over Slovakia in Group A, capping a dominant qualifying run.
Needing only a point to secure first place, Germany took control from the first whistle and never allowed the visitors to settle. Nick Woltemade opened the scoring with a firm header after captain Joshua Kimmich delivered a precise cross into the box. Moments later, Serge Gnabry finished a slick move with Aleksandar Pavlovic and Leon Goretzka, doubling the lead and underlining the hosts' early superiority.
Florian Wirtz became the chief architect as Germany continued to dictate the tempo. The playmaker's incisive passing twice carved open Slovakia's defensive line, first sending Leroy Sane through for a composed third before picking out the winger at the back post for Germany's fourth.
