Player Ratings: Germany 2-1 Russia
It was a game of two halves at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund as Germany ran out 2-1 winners over Gus Hiddink’s Russia. The home side dominated the first half with some fantastic attacking football and went two up through Podolski and Ballack. The roles were reversed in the second 45 minutes with Arshavin pulling the strings, but Germany held on.

Adler- 8.0: Looked a little nervy in the opening phase of the game, but wasn’t tested by the Russians in the first half. Saw the ball go through his legs for Arshavin’s goal at the start of the second half, but did then produce a fine save from Semak shortly after. He produced two further wonderful saves to deny Pogrebnyak with headers. He pulled off 11 saves in total on his debut to help secure all three points. An impressive debut.

Lahm- 6.5: The Bayern full back got forward well and was involved in the move which led to Ballack’s goal in the first half. He was however culpable for Arshavin’s goal after some sloppy defending against Anyukov. Spent much of the second 45 minutes defending.

A.Friedrich- 7.0: A solid enough game at right back from the Hertha Berlin defender. Put his tackles in when required and never let his side down at the back even though he was given a much busier time of it in the second half.

Mertesacker-7.0: The Werder defender had a good game in the centre against Pogrebnyak although things still look far from 100% secure at the back for Germany.

Westermann-7.0: The versatile Schalke man was asked to play alongside Per Mertesacker at centre back and he put in another solid performance to help secure three points. He was however a little to blame for the Russian goal alongside Lahm, but still put in enough important tackles to be happy with his overall performance.

Hitzlsperger-7.0: The ‘Hammer’ got the nod from Jogi Löw ahead of Werder Bremen’s Torsten Frings and the Stuttgart midfielder put in a good overall performance. Heavily involved in the first half with some incisive passes but like the whole German side was less impressive in the second period.

Ballack-7.0: The German captain grew into the game and put the finishing touch on a superb move for Germany’s second of the night. He did however look a little frustrated in the second half when a few decisions didn’t go his way and his influence on the game dipped.

Trochowski-7.5: Trochowski was lively on the left hand side but was too often a little selfish when taking on ambitious shots when laying the ball off would have been a better option. He hit the bar in the second half to be denied his first goal for Germany. He gave way to Frings ten minutes from time.

Schweinsteiger-6.0: Schweinsteiger had a relatively quiet game by his normal standards with the national team. Was given few opportunities to deliver his trade mark free kicks and balls from wide areas.

Podolski-7.5: Poldi may be struggling to get much playing time at Bayern, but he looked a world class player at times against Russia and scored his 31st goal in his 58th international. Less of a threat in the second half though as Russia controlled the second 45 minutes.

Klose-7.0: Once again the true value of Klose as a front man was highlighted against Russia. He didn’t get on the scoresheet, but his contribution in the first half bringing others into the game was admirable. He was taken off in the second half to be replaced by Mario Gomez.

Subs:

Gomez- Brought on for Klose when Löw was looking for a change with the Russians on top.

Frings- Sent on late in the second half to tighten things up in midfield.

Rolfes- Sent on late on to run the clock down a little.
