after Germany's 2-1 win over Georgia.
Germany head coach Joachim Low paid tribute to the
performance of Manuel Neuer after the world champions beat
Georgia 2-1 to seal their place at Euro 2016.
The Bayern Munich goalkeeper made three great saves in
Leipzig – one of which came with the scores level at one apiece
– as the hosts made hard work of getting the point they required
to reach the tournament in France.
Ultimately, a goal from substitute Max Kruse 11 minutes from
time settled nerves after a tense contest had seen Germany
waste countless opportunities to put the result beyond doubt.
Low was far from satisfied with the overall performance but did
pay tribute to the "world-class" stops made by Neuer to prevent
his side from paying the price for their missed chances.
"We can draw the same conclusions as against Ireland," he said.
"We have again missed three or four chances at the beginning
and then came the frustration. From there, some errors crept in
and we had big trouble in the second half.
"Manuel Neuer had to make two or three world-class saves to
prevent us from falling behind. We are sometimes not attentive
enough. Unfortunately, you have to say we have allowed a few
clear chances at the back.
"In general we can be pleased that we have won the group and
managed qualification, but we are not satisfied with the last two
games. That is not our standard."
