Goal.com / Skysports / Yahoo 賽後評分 GERMANY Neuer: 6 – Quick off his line to spoil Villa’s fun in the opening moments, and had to be alert more than brilliant in the remainder of the first half as Spain again failed to turn possession into threatening shots. His main concern was largely in keeping an eye on long range shots until Puyol’s bullet header made the difference. Skysports: 7 Made a few of decent saves. Yahoo : 7 Lahm: 6 – Rarely seen beyond the halfway line such was Spain’s general territorial dominance. He held his own well at the back, but couldn’t inspire his side to victory. Skysports: 7 Couldn't get forward too much. Yahoo : 6 Mertesacker: 6 – Was sturdy, but almost destructive when he foolishly gave the ball away in his own third just before half-time. But he made up for that by covering well on a number of occasions before Puyol’s clincher. Skysports: 8 Strong in the air and didn't let much past Yahoo : 6 Friedrich: 6.5 – Defended fairly well, but was caught in possession in his own half a couple of times. Proved his worth when standing strong against Villa late on as Spain threatened to make the game safe and was unfortunate to be on the losing side. Skysports: 7 Made life difficult for Spain's strikers. Yahoo : 6 Boateng: 5 – Provided sturdy resistance to the advancing Ramos in the early stages but then started to find things more difficult as time wore on and was unsurprisingly replaced by Jansen soon after the interval. Skysports: 6 Worked hard, surprisingly substituted. Yahoo : 6 Schweinsteiger: 7 – Broke up play well but was far from the explosive attacking force that he has proven to be for most of the tournament. Became the deeper of the two holding midfielders at times, but was up to the task of blunting Spanish counters as his side were ultimately undone by a classic set piece. Skysports: 7 Unable to impose himself. Yahoo : 7 Khedira: 6.5 – As a defensive midfielder he was forced into being more ‘ defensive’ than ‘midfielder’ early in the proceedings, but fulfilled the role well. Gave himself more freedom at times after the break as Schweinsteiger took the reins as the main pivot, but eventually succumbed to injury when Germany needed attacking reinforcements. Skysports: 6 Tough midfield battle. Yahoo : 6 Trochowski: 5.5 – Didn’t quite supply the liveliness of Mueller, but at least fired in die Nationalmannschaft’s first shot after a dominant Spanish opening. Found his attacking threat stifled too easily as he laboured his way through the game before Kroos replaced him. Skysports: 6 Gave it his all but lacked quality. Yahoo : 6 Oezil: 6.5 – Despite Spain’s success in giving Germany hardly any possession, he still managed to pick up positions to give la Furia Roja headaches and should have been rewarded with at least a free-kick in first half stoppage time. But he couldn’t provide the killer contribution when it really counted as the Mannschaft failed to really rock Spain. Skysports: 6 Could have won a penalty but struggled to show his class. Yahoo : 6 Podolski: 6 – Hardly in the game until brilliantly chipping a cross over to Kroos at the far post, which was Germany’s best chance. But his inability to get closer to Klose proved one of Germany’s downfalls. Skysports: 7 Energetic but couldn't make a difference. Yahoo : 7 Klose: 6 – Was forced deeper at times simply to see a bit of the ball, but held onto it well and managed to bring team-mates into play when required. Ultimately unable to get a clean sight on goal as he misses out on a second World Cup final. Skysports: 6 Very quiet match without much service. Yahoo : 6 Substitutes: Jansen: 6 – A like for like replacement for Boateng, but proved a more capable left-back up against Ramos until getting into crossing positions as he failed to hit the spot on three occasions. Skysports: 6 Made little impact. Yahoo : 6 Kroos: 5.5 – Replaced Piotr Trochowski in a change which many expected to be made before kick-off. His first real chance was a gilt-edged one when he failed to really catch hold of Podolski’s cross and allowed Casillas a chance to save in what was Germany’s most threatening moment. Skysports: 6 Wasted a great opportunity to score. Yahoo : 5 Gomez: NA Skysports: 6 Late substitute. Yahoo : 5 --
