Germany masterclass

Germany 3 Austria 0

Despite all their talk beforehand of shocking the Germans, the visitors only shocked themselves with an abject display at the Allianz Arena. Their plans to maintain the creative spark so evident in their last qualifier against Sweden suffered a blow beforehand with Zlatko Junuzovic’s failure to overcome an injury.

His replacement on the right flank, Andreas Ivanschitz, struggled badly and was substituted with 25 minutes left.
