Germany boss Joachim Low applauded Serge Gnabry’s “very dangerous” performance in Germany’s 2-2 draw with Argentina on Wednesday but added that his choice to remove him was a protective matter.
The Bayern Munich winger snatched his nation’s opener inside the opening quarter-hour in Dortmund to make it six goals in his last four games for club and country.
Though Kai Havertz added a second, the hosts ultimately surrendered their two-goal lead in the friendly encounter late on, with efforts from Lucas Alario and Lucas Ocampos ensuring Argentina claimed a draw.
