Against Italy
Ball boy gives Germany 2-0 – he says that after the game
For the ball boy Noel Urbaniack, the 3: 3 between Germany and Italy in the Nations League was a game that he will not forget. He gets praise from all sides.
A look from Joshua Kimmich – he didn’t need more. Noel Urbaniack was one of the German service providers in the 3: 3 of the German national soccer team in the Nations League against Italy. Noel who? Urbaniack. He was one of the ball boys in the Dortmund Westfalenstadion on Sunday evening. With a flash reaction, he initiated the 2-0, which on the one hand helped the Germans to move into the semi -finals of the Nations League and, on the other hand, dupe the Italians properly.
The 36th minute ran, Germany led 1-0 and was awarded a corner. In the penalty area, the Italians organized themselves, whose goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma stood a few meters in front of the goal and showed his players where they may put themselves in order to defend the corner kick.
What he didn’t notice: How Joshua Kimmich went to the corner flag for Noel Urbaniack, the fateful look for Italy.
“Kimmich looked at me, I looked back at him, immediately played the ball to him-gate,” said the still visibly adrenaline-storey 15-year-old scene. Not much can be added to his description.

Kimmich got the ball from him, put him on the floor and played tight to Jamal Musiala. Donnarumma was still delegating and gave his goal so completely free. Musiala just had to insert. “I reacted very quickly,” said Urbaniack after the game itself.
The self -praise was appropriate. And it also came from another side: “He gets a free ticket at the next home game,” said DFB sports director Rudi Völler of the dpa news agency. National coach Julian Nagelsmann praised: “Of all three absolute world class.” He spoke of Kimmich, Musiala – and Noel Urbaniak.
By the way, it was his first effort as a ball boy for him and very overwhelming: “When I saw that I was on TV and in the news – really, it was over with me. I was full of shock, I couldn’t think clearly.”
So in the future he will have a good story to tell. He won’t forget her. A ball with Kimmich’s signature and a photo with there were souvenir support on top.
