Playing in Cologne, Germany drew for the third time in the third international in 2020 with a 3-3 scoreline this time. The team under coach Joachim Löw took the lead three times in the friendly against Turkey: Julian Draxler (45’), debutant Florian Neuhaus (58’) and Luca Waldschmidt (81’) scored for the hosts with Jonathan Tah coming on after the hour mark and Nadiem Amiri winning his fourth cap just before the end of the game. There were four former Leverkusen players in the starting eleven: Bernd Leno, Benjamin Henrichs, Kai Havertz and Julian Brandt.
