Half-Time Report: Marco Reus, Thomas Muller put Germany ahead in Georgia

Germany lead by two goals in Georgia

Marco Reus and Thomas Muller have both scored as Germany lead Georgia 2-0 in their Euro 2016 Group D qualifier.

As expected, the visitors took control of the possession in the early moments, while the home side were forced into a change after just four minutes, with Aleksandre Amisulashvili forced to depart for Lasha Dvali.

Moments later, Germany had an excellent opportunity to open the scoring through Reus, but the Borussia Dortmund forward was denied by a smart save from Giorgi Loria, who tipped Reus's effort onto the crossbar.

Aleksandre Kobakhidze then fired wide for Georgia after 12 minutes, but less than one minute later, the away side had a glorious chance through Muller, who missed the target from inside the box as Germany dominated the possession.

The visitors had to wait until the 26th minute to create another chance of note and they could not take it as Mario Gotze slotted wide, before Reus followed suit moments later.

The away side scored twice in the final six minutes of the half, however, with Reus sliding home from close range, before Muller collected a super pass from Mesut Ozil and finished into the bottom corner.
