Tom Bischof made his first appearance for the Germany U20 national team on Friday, and the TSG midfielder celebrated his first goal only four days later: the 18-year-old scored the goal that made it 4-0 in the 5-0 victory against the Ghana U20s. Bischof made the starting line-up and was only substituted off shortly before the end.
