Goalkeeper:
Marc Andre Ter-Stegen - 6
Ter Stegen didn't have much to do this game, but he was fine in possession. The lone goal allowed was not his fault.
Defenders:
Jonas Hector - 4
Hector was full of mistakes today, but he made up for them with a few beautiful crosses into the box.
Johnathan Tah - 6
Tah did fine defensively, but he wasn't called on to do much this game.
Emre Can - 4
Can started as a center back and fouled Northern Ireland's striker on a consistent basis before moving to midfield where he promptly would give the ball away when in possession.
Lukas Klostermann - 7
Klostermann got up the pitch well and had some nice crosses against Northern Ireland's star left back.
Midfield:
Toni Kroos - 8
Kroos played well in possession. He was not really bothered by the lack of pressure from Northern Ireland's defense, and he picked out some dangerous passes accompanied with some long range shots.
Joshua Kimmich - 8
Kimmich started in the midfield and looked like the world's best midfield maestro. Perhaps the best field general Germany has had since Bastian Schweinsteiger, Kimmich's passing and possession were gorgeous while also threatening with through balls and lob passes into the box. Moving to right back in the 65th minute, he promptly became an attacking threat and nearly came away with a goal and an assist in only 35 minutes at the position.
Ilkay Gundogan - 5
Gundogan is one of Germany's most technically precise players, but he did not come quite on top of his game for this matchup. His ability to remain in possession was not quite there today, and he oftentimes couldn't find the last man.
Attackers:
Julian Brandt - 4
Julian Brandt had a terrible game until he netted a magnificent finish in extra time. His passing and ball control were awful, although he did find Serge Gnabry for his third goal of the game. Racing down the pitch, he made a good skill move on the defender and completed a terrific finish to put the game at 6-1.
Serge Gnabry - 10
Gnabry was flawless today. His finishing and skills were on full display against a weaker Northern Ireland side, and he ends the European qualifications with more goals than matches played.
Leon Goretzka - 7
Goretzka did not play exceptionally well except for his two goals. His first tap-in was a bit lucky, but his second was a beautiful strike from the edge of the box into the bottom left corner with no chance for the keeper.
Substitutes:
Niklas Stark - 6
Stark played well for his 35 minutes of playing time with multiple clearances that worked out well for the Germans who were never in any real trouble of conceding after Northern Ireland scored early.
Suat Serdar - 5
Serdar didn't make much of a difference with his skills, but he had great positioning and excellent hustle up and down the pitch.
Nadiem Amiri - 5
Amiri came on late for the man of the match Serge Gnabry, and he made an impact with his crosses and decent positioning in the offensive half.
