Turkey had a good chance to score earlier. In the 13th minute, midfielders Kazim Clatters sent a powerful shot through Lehmman's fingers and hit the crossbar.

Germany, which was troubled with Turkey's quick attacks, revenged with a swift counterattack in the 26th minute.

Bayern striker Lukas Podolski penetrated the area and delivered a superb pass to Schweinsteiger, who scored with ease.

During the second half, both teams paid more attention to defense and they created less scoring opportunities.

The dull defense-to-defense show was interrupted in the 78th minute when Lahm abruptly charged into Turkey's area from the leftside and delivered a pass to Klose, who smashed the net with a header.

German fans's celebrations did not last long as never-say-quits Turkey leveled the score six minutes later.

Sabri Sarioglu cheated through Lahm's defense and passed to Semih Senturk, who tapped the ball into the net.

Lehmman's humiliation was washed off by playmaker Lahm in the added time, who ran 40 meters and shook off Thomas Hitzlsperger to calmly lift his shot over goalkeeper Recber Rustu.

"We are incredibly satisfied with the result," said Loew at the after-match press conference.

However, the 49-year-old said Germany failed to stage the level they performed against Portugal, noting there were some problems with the midfielders.

Looking ahead, Loew already set his sight on the title.
