Stuttgart (B2B) -  Jerman selamat kendati tampil tidak mengesankan saat menang 1-0 dari sesama tim Piala Dunia 2014 Chile yang mendominasi pertandingan meski tampil di kandang lawan pada laga persahabatan dini hari tadi.

Di bawah dirijen pemain Barcelona, Alexis Sanchez, Chile yang memukau berhasil menunjukkan alasan mengapa mereka sukses menempati peringkat ketiga zona kualifikasi Amerika Selatan lalu.

Tim asuhan Jorge Sampaoli ini membombardir Jerman dengan 17 tendangan berpeluang gol sedangkan Jerman hanya menciptakan tujuh peluang, sementara tendangan penjuru Chile sebanyak 14 melawan empat yang hanya bisa diciptakan Jerman, seperti dilansir Yahoo Sport.

"Ini adalah kemenangan untung-untungan," kata kapten Jerman Philipp Lahm. "Orang mengeluarkan uang banyak untuk menonton kami dan jelas kami harus banyak bekerja lagi sebelum ke Piala Dunia. Namun kami selalu siap dengan baik untuk Piala Dunia, untuk itu saya tak khawatir."

Chile hampir menyamakan kedudukan pada sekitar satu jam pertandingan saat pemain Valencia Eduardo Vargas melepaskan tendangan membentur tiang gawang ketika kiper Jerman Manuel Neuer sudah mati langkah.

"Kemenangan adalah kemenangan, Chile benar-benar bagus," kata Bastian Schweinsteiger sembari menyebut Chile sebagai salah satu tim terbaik di Amerika Selatan.

Pelatih Jerman Joachim Loew menuntut pemainnya untuk membuktikan mereka pantas mewakili Jerman ketika ajang Piala Dunia tinggal 99 hari lagi. Namun hasil melawan Chile membuat Loew agak kesulitan menentukan anggota skuadnya sebelum diumumkan 8 Mei nanti.

Kendati Chile tampil kuat, Jerman memimpin ketika pemain Arsenal, Mesut Ozil, menerobos pertahanan Chile lalu mendapati Goetze tak terjaga dan gelandang Bayern Munchen ini tak ragu melepaskan tembakan  yang mengantarkan timnya menang 1-0.

Peluang terbaik Chile didapat pada babak pertama dari tembakan gelandang Charles Aranguiz yang dihalangi bek Jerman Kevin Grosskreutz. Lalu pemain Juventus Arturo Vidal menciptakan peluang lainnya.


Stuttgart (B2B) - Germany were booed off after failing to impress in a fortunate 1-0 win over fellow World Cup finalists Chile as the South Americans dominated their hosts in yesterday´s friendly.

With Barcelona´s Alexis Sanchez in the thick of things, the enterprising Chileans showed why they finished third in the South American qualifying group for the World Cup.

Jorge Sampaoli´s side had the Germans under pressure for long spells and created 17 shots to the Germans´ seven. The corner count of Chile´s 14 to Germany´s four told its own tale and the hosts enjoyed only a brief period of pressure in the first-half which led to Mario Goetze´s 16th-minute winner.

"That was a lucky win. I can understand the jeers and whistles," said Germany captain Philipp Lahm. "People pay good money to watch us and it´s clear that we have a lot of work to do before the World Cup. But we always prepare well for a World Cup, so I am not worried."

Chile were only denied an equaliser with an hour gone by the woodwork when Valencia´s Eduardo Vargas clattered the crossbar with Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer well beaten.

"A win´s a win, Chile were really good," said Germany´s vice-captain Bastian Schweinsteiger.

 In the match build-up, Germany coach Joachim Loew had insisted "the clock is ticking" for his squad to prove their form 99 days before the World Cup starts. But Loew has more questions than answers from his final friendly before naming his provisional World Cup squad on May 8 and his side were booed off the Stuttgart pitch.

Despite Chile´s strong start, Germany took the lead when Arsenal´s Mesut Ozil jinxed his way through the Chilean defence.

Chile´s best first-half chances came just before the break as midfielder Charles Aranguiz fired wide under intense pressure from Germany defender Kevin Grosskreutz.
Then Juventus´s Arturo Vidal fired over the bar moments later.
