JAKARTA - Germany U-17 managed to advance to the semifinals of the 2023 U-17 World Cup. This assurance was achieved by Die Mannschaft after beating Spain U-17 in the quarter-finals on Friday, November 24, 2023 night.
In that match, Germany U-17 won 1-0 through a penalty kick by Paris Brunner in the 64th minute. The penalty was awarded by the field taker after Hector Fort fouled Brunner in the penalty box.
The execution that went smoothly made the only goal locked Germany U-17 to the semifinals. Obviously, that made the coach, Christian Wuck, proud.
After the match, he said that the key to his team's success was that his team struggled from the start with a good defensive pattern.
The technique was applied by Wuck because it did not deny that Spain U-17 was a team with good playing techniques.
"I'm very proud of the kids. Proud of what they did until the last minute," said Wuck in front of the media crew after the match.
The key (to face Spain U-17) is that we fought from start to finish minute. We know the U-17 Spanish team has very good technique, maybe the best in the world.
"We know we don't have many opportunities to play with the ball. I told the players that we have to give our best in defense," he said.

Wuck also commented on Paris Brunner who successfully executed a penalty in this match. Even though he admitted that the player did not appear too flashy, there was nothing wrong with giving the U-19 Borussia Dortmund player the opportunity.
As a result, Brunner answered the coach's trust well. He managed to prove himself and instead became a team hero.
"Paris (Brunner) is not very good in this tournament or Euro U-17 2023. However, we know that we only need one moment and that (penalty) is the moment in this match," said Christian Wuck.
"I hope so, he scored his second goal earlier and it was very important to us. The whole team is very good and I am very proud," said the coach.
Successfully eliminating Spain U-17, Germany U-17 has the right to advance to the semifinals. They will meet Argentina U-17 who beat Brazil U-17 convincingly, winning 3-0.
