    Oscar Wendt

    Rather quiet for the most part, but will be remembered for his comically miss-hit shot on 75 minutes. Provided some decent support for Wilhelmsson on occasion.

  • Christian Wilhelmsson

    Christian Wilhelmsson

    Arguably Sweden's most dangerous attacker. Made a great run to the byline before his cutback was found to be slightly behind Toivonen. Was very lively; he also dropped deep to defend.

Substitutions

  • Rasmus Elm

    Rasmus Elm

    Replaced Wernbloom for the final quarter hour, and rarely received the ball. Might have had a late chance, but it was snuffed out almost instantaneously.

  • Alexander Gerndt

    Alexander Gerndt

    Given just two minutes in his debut; cannot be fully assessed.

  • Mats Hummels

    Mats Hummels

    Made a strong appeal to become a regular in Loew's line-up. Was not tested very much, but put his ball-playing skills on display with solid distribution. In another era, he could have been a sweeper. His overall performance was marred by one cheap give away in injury time.

    Lewis Holtby Top of the Match

    In the early stages of the game, the Mainz man struggled to assume the Oezil role in Germany's tactical game plan. After half-time, he improved, and linked well with Marin. Did not create any brilliant goals, but a playmaker needs his team-mates to flatter him. Came close to scoring the winner on 58 minutes, but missed wide.

Substitutions

  • Andreas  Beck

    Andreas Beck

    Replaced Boateng at half time. Made a decisive clearance as Toivonen looked likely to score. Strangely enough, that was his most significant contribution; the Hoffenheim defender, who is known for his forward-minded style of play, did very little in attack.

  • Andre Schürrle

    Andre Schürrle

    Looked very bright on occasion. Strong, and talented in the dribble, Schuerrle might have a future in Loew's team if he continues his development.

  • Christian Träsch

    Christian Träsch

    Played a couple nice balls forward, but did nothing more spectacular than his predecessors. The Stuttgart man might be Loew's preferred deputy for Khedira.

  • Mario Götze

    Mario Götze

    His few toughest looked good, but the 18-year old really did not have enough time to make an impression.

  • Cacau

    Cacau

    Came on to provide more support in attack alongside Gomez, but did nothing of the sort. Was utterly anonymous.
