Serge Gnabry

2018 World Cup Qualifier 

Result: San Marino 0-8 Germany

Date: 11 November 2016

Venue: Stadio Olimpico di Serravalle

Serge Gnabry netted a hat-trick on debut for Germany, as the World Champions romped to a 8-0 win over San Marino on Friday evening.

Germany broke the deadlock after seven minutes as Sami Khedira latched onto a pass from Ilkay Gundogan, before rounding the goalkeeper to slot into an empty net.

The visitors doubled their advantage two minutes later when Simoncini's clearance fell into the path of Serge Gnabry, who slotted home from close range to mark his debut with a goal.

The Germans continued to dominate and grabbed their third goal after 32 minutes as Jonas Hector played a neat one-two with Mario Gotze, before firing home from close range.

Gnabry netted his second and Germany's fourth in the 58th minute when he slid home a low cross from Joshua Kimmich.

Hector then completed his brace after 65 minutes, as the full-back slotted home from close range, after some good work by Gotze, 5-0.

Gnabry rounded off a fine debut, as he completed his hat-trick in the 76th minute with a fine volley into the bottom corner, with Muller picking up the assist, 6-0.

There was enough time for a seventh goal, as San Marino's Mattia Stefanelli deflected a cross into is own net to cap off a miserable evening for the home side.

Substitute Kevin Volland rounded off the scoring in the 85th minute as Muller's cross from the right was turned home by the Bayer Leverkusen striker.
