Substitute Niclas Fullkrug’s close-range strike late in the second half rescued Germany with a valuable 1-1 draw against Spain in a World Cup Group E showdown, a result which left the group still wide open.
Billed as a heavyweight battle between two giants of European football, this was a pacy, exciting, end-to-end 90 minutes which probably deserved more goals for two teams who have both previously lifted the World Cup.
