Germany’s Lahm chests a crossing ball down, dribbles once, twice as Greece defense fails to close him down. Right-footed shot by the veteran defender, Germany’s captain, slices away from Sifakis and into the far upper corner. 1-0 Germany

25 mins: Reus misses again. The Greek goal is charmed. Joachim Loew is furious. He'll need more chewing gum. Tried biting your nails like Roy Hodgson?

24 mins: Ozil shoots from wide. The ball slides across the net and Klose just fails to reach it.

23 mins: Ozil collects a neat pass from Reus but Michalis Sifakis comfortably clasps Ozil's shot.

21 mins: The Arena Gdansk pitch looks very heavy underfoot, says Ryland James. Maybe that was what caused Klose to stumble in the opening minutes - and the turf is cutting up in both goal mouths after only 10 minutes.

18 mins: Salpingidis, scorer of Greece's equaliser against Poland, breaks forward but the German border guards stop him - at the edge of their penalty area.

6 mins: Ryland James says smoke hangs over the German fans after it looks like a flare was set off. "Wonder if that will mean another fine for the German FA from UEFA."

4 mins: Bayer Leverkusen's Andre Schuerrle, making his tournament debut, blasts the ball into the Greek net but the whistle goes - he's offside. Dramatic start though.

3 mins: The Germans attack from the start. Ozil chips a neat pass to the recalled Klose in the Greek penalty area but he slips.

2 mins: AFP's Dario Thuburn in Athens city centre says: "The cafes in the Thissio neighbourhood around the Parthenon are buzzing with young fans hoping to show Germany....
