Germany's Man of the Match: Karim Adeyemi (7)

Karim Adeyemi was arguably Germany's most dangerous attacker in the 0-1 defeat to Greece. After a disappointing showing against the Netherlands, the winger looked much more determined in Augsburg and was involved in almost every dangerous German attack early on.

His pace and direct running repeatedly caused problems for the Greek defence, but he couldn't turn his promising moves into a goal. Several of his efforts went over the bar, while Greece's deep defensive block made it difficult for him to find the final pass or finish. Overall, it was a much-improved performance from Adeyemi despite Germany's attacking struggles.
