Nico Schulz's debut goal handed Germany a patchy 2-1 friendly win over Peru.
The Hoffenheim midfielder slotted home late on in Sinsheim, sparing boss Joachim Low's blushes after a sticky German showing.
Schulz's low drive crept under Peru goalkeeper Pedro Gallese's body and into the net, as the hosts edged to victory at the Rhein-Neckar Arena.

Luis Advincula put Peru ahead with a crisp finish, before Julian Brandt levelled for the hosts before half-time.
But just as Germany were staring down the barrel of a frustrating draw, Schulz's 18-yard effort had just enough power to squirm home and seal the hosts' much-needed win.
Germany were bidding to exorcise the demons of their horrible World Cup experience, where they failed to progress past the group stages in Russia.
Low's men just about managed to start that process with a victory, but the performance level will doubtless have left much to be desired.
Advincula drilled the visitors into the lead after latching onto Christian Cueva's through ball, though home goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen will have been frustrated to have been beaten at his near post.

Just three minutes later Germany were level though, Brandt dinking neatly home after captain Toni Kroos' neat ball had bisected the Peru defence.
Jefferson Farfan should have blasted his side back into the lead when racing through on goal after the break. Instead the Peru skipper only managed to fire high into the stands, in the process gifting Germany a huge reprieve.
And the Peruvians were made to pay for that profligacy when Germany snatched the victory with five minutes remaining.
Just as all and sundry were gearing up for a galling draw, Schulz struck from the edge of the area - more in apparent hope than expectation.
Gallese should have dealt with the danger, but instead the ball wriggled under his body and into the net - sparking equal measures of celebration and relief for the Germans.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
