35'
Amin Younes looks to beat Matej Hybs on the outside, and shows some good footwork to win a corner for Germany.

15'
Germany look threatening down the left flank, capitalising from the space vacated by Pavel Kaderabek's forward runs. With Kevin Volland pulling wide to create overloads on that side of the pitch, Jakub Dovalil will be concerned with the amount of room the Germans are enjoying so far.
