Germany left Chicago with a 2-1 win over USA, and Kai Havertz left Soldier Field with a strong individual line. In 61 minutes the Arsenal forward scored, assisted and posted a Sofascore Rating of 8. It was efficient, tidy and influential in the right moments. For a friendly, his numbers carried competitive weight.

End product in 61 minutes

Havertz needed only one shot on target to find the net, which tells you a lot about his finishing on the day. He also supplied one assist and created three key passes, a neat mix of goals and service. His 35 touches were used with purpose in the final third and around the box. There were three offside calls, which show how aggressively he tried to break the line.

That risk often pays off when Germany look to stretch teams, and here it helped open lanes for runners. With just 61 minutes on the pitch, stacking a goal and an assist is solid return. This was not volume shooting, it was precision. On Sofascore, where 10 is perfect, an 8 reflects that level of impact.

Passing numbers that fuel attacks

The passing was clean and progressive. Havertz completed 21 of 24 passes, an 88 percent clip. In the opposition half he went 16 of 19, which is exactly where you want your forward to be secure. He was perfect in his own half at 5 of 5, helping Germany reset when needed.

Those three key passes underline the variety in his link play. He connected quickly, often in tight spots, and moved the ball on without slowing the tempo. You could see the understanding with teammates managed by Julian Nagelsmann. It was direct without being rushed, and accurate without being conservative.

Work rate, duels and carrying

The off-ball work popped up all over the stat sheet. Havertz won 6 of 11 duels and 1 of 2 in the air, useful returns against a physical USA side. He made three tackles and won two of them, which is valuable defensive help from a forward. He was fouled once and committed one foul, staying on the right side of the contest.

On the ball he logged seven carries for 62.93 meters in total distance. His best progressive carry advanced the play by 14.05 meters and he had one officially progressive carry at 14.49 meters. Possession losses were kept to six and he was dispossessed only once. The balance of control and risk looked just right for an international friendly tuned toward testing ideas.

The final takeaway

Germany got the result and Havertz delivered the box-score moments that shape friendlies. Goal, assist, sharp passing and useful duels in just over an hour is a clean summary. If you want every touch, heat map and sequence value, Sofasscore has the full breakdown for USA vs Germany in Chicago. On this evidence, his national-team rhythm is in a good place.
