Germany manager Joachim Loew has admitted that Frank Lampard should have been awarded a goal after his side thrashed England 4-1.
Lampard's effort just before half-time clearly crossed the line but Uruguayan referee Jorge Larrionda and his assistant Mauricio Espinosa deemed it not to be a goal.
And Loew accepted the decision was wrong but insisted his team deserved to win against Fabio Capello's team.
According to Sky Sports, Loew said: "What I saw in the television this ball was behind the line, it must have been given as a goal.
"I said to my team at the half-time break, we need to try and score the third goal.

"I said to my team at the half-time break, we need to try and score the third goal.
"We knew we could hit England on the counter-attack because they were open. Our players carried it off brilliantly.
"We clearly controlled the game until England's goal, then there was a short critical phase."
