Germany 3 – 1 Portugal
Germany were playing for pride in front of their final home crowd of this tournament, and turned out a good performance against Portugal. Bastian Schweinsteiger (sp?) was the hero for Germany, with two spectacular long-range goals. The third for Germany was an own-goal by Portugal’s Petit, but even that was from a kick whipped in by Schweinsteiger.
Germany were pretty happy at the end of the game, so it was good to see them pleased with a winning performance to end their journey as hosts of the 2006 World Cup.
