Good save! Reus takes a shot from the edge of the area which Marshall has to sprawl across the goal to save. Schurrle is following up but Martin blocks the rebound. Close call!
26'
Mulgrew attempts an audacious ball over the top which almost finds Naismith running off the back of Boateng but Neuer is out quickly to collect the high bouncing ball.
25'
Schurrle tries to runs past Bannan but the little man tackles with ease. He then sets Morrison off who finds Hutton on the overlap. Germany clear but it is Scotland in possession now.
24'
Muller floats into the box and chests the ball down for Kramer who decides to take a touch rather than shoot and Scotland clear. Reus attempts a shot from distance on his left foot but skews it high and wide.
23'
Morrison with a chance to counter there but he dallies on the ball Germany get back. A poor piece of control sees him run it out of the pitch and Germany have it back.
22'
Naismith is furious at the ref after giving away a foul on the half way line as he jumped into Boateng. Could have talked himself into the book there. From the free kick Reus takes a strike but Marshall gets across to gather with ease.
21'
Durm overlaps on the left wing but is robbed of it by Bannan. He tries to run it line but Kramer is over to stop the attack.

GOAL! There it is. Muller loops a header at the far post into the top corner. Rudy clips a ball in and finds the striker who directs it brilliantly into the goal. Marshall has no chance.
16'
Germany in possession here. Going nowhere with it at the moment. But Reus comes skipping down the right wing and plays it to Rudy. He crosses but it flies over the crossbar and out for a goal kick.
15'
Germany playing extremely high. Neuer was forced to come out and head a ball around 40 yards out of his own half. Durm then takes a shot from the edge of the area but Marshall is there to save comfortably.

CROSSBAR! Germany clear their lines from the corner but Anya heads back in and finds Mulgrew who volleyed into the top corner. But the ref had his flag up and he was called offfside.
13'
Anya does well to nick the ball off kramer and is then released down the line. He gets a cross in to Morrison who gives it to Bannan in the penalty area. He hits it but Durm is across to block and the ball flies out for a corner.
12'
More German possession. Muller gets the ball on the right but Mulgrew is across well to tackle. Kramer then picks it up down the line but can't squeeze a cross in.
11'
Germany back in possession now, and stroking the ball about in midfield. Schurrle fouls Hutton as the defender gets his body in between him and the ball.
10'
Howedes hooks a bad clearance down the line but Schurrle can't keep it in. Fletcher looks for Anya through the middle but Rudy blocks the run and allows the ball to run to Neuer.
9'
Durm goes on a burst down the left wing and floats a cross to the far post where Muller is lurking again but this time his header loops up to the far post where Hanley is on hand to clear.
