Les Bleus got another three points while Germanys struggles continue

On the road, Germany was able to get an opening goal 14 minutes in from Toni Kroos thanks to a penalty kick, but the team threatened little after that. Griezmann got both of his goals in the final half an hour to earn the three points.

The first, on 62 minutes, was a lovely header to the far post:

The Germans look like a likely candidate to be relegated to League B with one more game to go — a must-win match against the Netherlands on Nov. 19.
