  2.00

  Maarten Stekelenburg

  The Roma goalkeeper made made a couple of flying saves - most notably to keep out a deflected free-kick - but went to ground too early for Gomez's second goal. Almost conceded a howler in the dying moments under pressure from Klose.

•

  2.50

  Gregory van der Wiel

  The right-back offered little in attack but was tidy on the ball and did well in one-on-one situations against Podolski.

•

  75

  2.00

  John Heitinga

  Strong when he was able to attack the ball but the central defender looked very shaky when Germany were able to put together swift attacking moves.

•

  69

  2.00

  Joris Mathijsen

  Recalled to this side after missing the opening match through injury, but allowed Gomez far too much space for the first goal and failed to track German runners.

•

  90

  2.50

  Jetro Willems

  The 18-year-old looked comfortable on the ball but was defensively naive at times, getting caught ball-watching in the lead up to Germany's second goal.

  Mark van Bommel Flop of the Match

  The Netherlands midfielder gave a gorgeous early pass to Van Persie, but failed to perform his main job of stifling Germany's midfield. Nowhere near Schweinsteiger for either of Gomez's goals and was replaced by Van der Vaart at half time.

•

  2.50

  Nigel De Jong

  The Manchester City midfielder sat deep in midfield but struggled to deny space to Germany's attacking midfielders, while at the same time failing to put pressure on Schweinsteiger and Khedira. Made some important last-ditch tackles in the second-half.

• 
  91

  49

  2.50

  Wesley Sneijder

  After a virtually anonymous first 45 minutes, threatened in the second-half, striking one effort just wide and seeing another goalbound effort blocked by Boateng's arm.

• 
  40

  97

  2.00

  Arjen Robben

  Another mixed and unpredictable display. Made some bad decisions in the final third - with misplaced passes and shots - but always carried a sense that he could threaten the German back line.

• 
  25

  90

  2.00

  Ibrahim Afellay

  Kept his place in the side but had little impact before being substituted at the break. He saw little of the ball and failed to cause Boateng any real problems.

• 
  93

  55

  2.50

  Robin van Persie

  The Arsenal star justified his selection with a well-taken goal in the 73rd minute as he turned into space and slammed a shot low into the net with his weaker right foot. Vast improvement after the break on a poor first half that included two bad misses.

Substitutions

• 
  57

  36

  2.50

  Rafael van der Vaart

  Replaced captain Van Bommel at the break as the Oranje went all out attack. Provided some attacking impetus for his side but was too easily beaten when defending.

•

  38

  Dirk Kuyt

  Came on for Robben seven minutes from time.

•

  2.50

  Klaas-Jan Huntelaar

  The Schalke striker replaced Afellay at half-time and played as the central striker. He did not get a clear sight on goal to show his finishing ability.

Germany

  3.00

  Manuel Neuer

  Showed the value of concentration for goalkeepers just before the hour mark with excellent reactions to keep out Van Persie's fierce strike from the edge of the penalty area. Generally comfortable, assured and his distribution was good.

• 
  240

  4.00

  Mats Hummels

  Another towering display from the Borussia Dortmund centre-back. Caught out by a long ball early on but his positioning, anticipation and strength all stifled the Dutch attack. Stepped up into midfield well when in possession.

• 
  120

  18

  3.00

  Holger Badstuber

  Calm display and commanding in the air. Settled down quickly after failing to track Van Persie's movement on a couple of occasions early on.

• 
  160

  7

  3.50

  Philipp Lahm

  The Germany captain had a very solid defensive game. Denied Bayern Munich team-mate Robben chances to run at him in the first-half and handled Van Persie comfortable after the break. Sensible in choosing the right moments to burst forward.

• 
  138

  56

  3.50

  Jerome Boateng

  Very strong and powerful in defence but lucky to get away with a clear handball in the second-half to keep out a shot from Sneijder.

• 
  138

  19

  3.50

  Sami Khedira

  Sat in midfield and allowed Germany to control the game with his alert defensive positioning and intelligent use of the ball. Perhaps turned too easily by Van Persie for the Arsenal man's goal.

• 
  276

  13

  4.00

  Bastian Schweinsteiger

  Came into the game with doubts over his fitness but produced on his promise to improve his form. Produced both assists for Gomez with play that summed up his game - classy movement and expert precision with his passing. Tired late on.

• 
  206

  3.50

  Mesut Özil

  The Real Madrid playmaker caused the Dutch defence all sorts of problems as Germany played attacking fluency. Always able to find space and could have scored as he hit the post with a first-half volley and forced Stekelenburg into a double save after the break.

• 
  78

  83

  2.50

  Lukas Podolski

  The Arsenal-bound forward provided good balance to the Germany attack as he took up a position on the left touchline and interlinked well with his team-mates.

• 
  103

  3.00

  Thomas Müller

  An intelligent display as he picked up good positions and created space for others, particularly in the first-half.

•

  4.00

  Mario Gomez Top of the Match

  Scored a devastating first-half double with two brilliant finishes. The first was made by an expert first touch on the turn while the second was a wonderful finish into the top corner from a tight angle. Replaced by Klose in the 72nd minute.

Substitutions

•

  Lars Bender

  Came on for Muller in added time.

  Toni Kroos

  Came on for Ozil in the 81st minute and added fresh legs to the midfield.

  2.50

  Miroslav Klose

  The legendary striker replaced Gomez in the 72nd minute. Had little involvement but almost forced an awful error from Stekelenberg in the closing stages.
