Substitute Niclas Fullkrug scored a late equaliser for Germany as they rescued a draw with Switzerland to top Group A.<\/p>\n
The Swiss thought they were going through to the last 16 as group winners after an early goal from Dan Ndoye until Fullkrug headed in the equaliser.<\/p>\n
There was an outburst of celebration from home supporters behind the goal as Germany maintained their unbeaten start to Euro 2024.<\/p>\n
It was a blow to Switzerland, who had defended resolutely for more than 90 minutes but they still progress to the knockout stages.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end I think this point is well deserved. We risked a lot, as we could have conceded a second goal,\u201d said Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a very strong group and a very good match. I think if we had scored that first goal, it would have been very difficult for Switzerland.\u201d<\/p>\nGranite Xhaka Photo Courtesy: Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Germany, who had largely frustrated the home fans in the stands, created a flurry of chances late on and eventually did enough.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Swiss fans were bouncing and singing in the stands after Ndoye had placed a first-time shot into the roof of the net from Remo Freuler\u2019s dangerous cross.<\/p>\n
Ndoye also had a goal ruled out for offside in the second half that would have made it 2-0 \u2013 the second to be crossed off after the video assistant referee (VAR) intervened for Germany\u2019s Robert Andrich.<\/p>\nJonathan Tah Photo Courtesy: Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Andrich curled a shot from the edge of the box under the arms of goalkeeper Yann Sommer, whose blushes were saved when referee Daniele Orsato overturned his decision after going to the pitchside monitor to see a foul from Jamal Musiala in the build-up.<\/p>\nJamal Musiala- Niclas Fullkrug Photo Courtesy: Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Germany had lacked the ruthlessness they had shown in their opening two victories of the tournament but high hopes remain that they can go all the way in the competition.<\/p>\n
By winning Group A, Germany face the team that finishes second in England\u2019s group next Saturday.<\/p>\n
