#NorthMacedonia's players and coaches were wild with joy in their changing room celebrations after the nation, ranked 65th in the world, acheived a stunning victory over Germany in their World Cup qualifier in Duisberg, Germany on Wednesday.
Goran Pandev, a 37-year-old striker playing in his 20th year of international football, was part of the North Macedonia team that shocked the four-time World Cup winners, scoring the opener in first-half stoppage time.
Ilkay Gundogan equalized from the penalty spot but after Timo Werner missed a golden chance to put Germany ahead and potentially earn the team a 19th straight World Cup qualifying victory, Eljif Elmas scored the winner for North Macedonia in the 85th at the end of a counterattack.
The 2-1 defeat was Germany's first World Cup qualifying loss in 20 years added another blemish to the final months of coach Joachim Löw's 15-year reign in charge of the team.
In Group J, Germany has slumped to third place after three games - behind North Macedonia and 99th-ranked Armenia, which beat Romania 3-2 for a third straight win having trailed after 87 minutes in Yerevan.
