10' Germany struggled to break Liechtenstein down on Thursday and only managed a 2-0 victory, but they already look much more dangerous here and are showing more intent to score a few more.
8' Decent chance! Goretzka finds time and space on the edge of the box and powers an effort towards goal, but he gets too much on it and the ball flies high over the crossbar.
5' OFF THE BAR! Kehrer rises highest at a corner that is whipped into the penalty area by Kimmich and the centre-back powers a header towards the top left corner of the net. However, he gets slightly too much on it and the ball skims the crossbar and flies over.
4' Germany are enjoying the early possession now, keeping it nicely in the middle of the pitch and looking to break into the final third to create a goalscoring opportunity.
2' Decent start here by Armenia, they break forward quickly on the counter and the ball is pulled back to Mkhitaryan on the edge of the box, who fires a shot towards goal. However, he gets it all wrong and it flies high over the crossbar.
1' We're under way!
