The hosts made a dominant start and Thomas Muller saw an effort saved by the keeper, before Toni Kroos volleyed narrowly wide from the edge of the box.

Ilkay Gundogan then saw his strike following a quick break palmed to safety by Nukri Revishvili, and moments later Marco Reus forced the keeper into another stop.

Despite the constant pressure from the Germans, the visitors almost took a shock lead in the 27th minute as Manuel Neuer was forced to touch behind Tornike Okriashvili's close-range attempt.

Germany were soon on the attack again and Reus had another chance when he was slipped through by Mesut Ozil, but his clipped effort headed inches wide of the far post, as the teams headed into the break on level terms.
