Maximilian Eggestein successfully qualified for the 2019 U21 European Championship on Friday evening in a 2-1 victory against Norway. The U21s needed two points from their remaining two qualifiers to guarantee their ticket to the tournament in Italy and San Marino. Stefan Kuntz’s team made it clear in their performance against Norway that they wanted to qualify with a game to spare. Werder’s Maximilian Eggestein played the full 90 minutes, while his brother Johannes, called up after Augsburg’s Marco Richter withdrew from the squad due to injury, did not feature.
