Gabriel Jesus’ first-half header gave Brazil a deserved 1-0 win over Germany in a dominating performance in Berlin.
The Manchester City striker got on the end of a superb cross from the right from Willian to head past Kevin Trapp.
Germany struggled to open up a solid Brazil defence, who were largely untroubled by the hosts.
Tweet of the match
Germany being whistled off, which is a bit harsh. Brazil very impressive: pressing in packs, breaking fast, well drilled in defence. A very, er, German performance.

New York Times chief soccer correspondent Rory Smith was suitably impressed by the Brazilians in Berlin.
