And that's all from me for now, such a high-quality game decided at the end in favour of the German hosts. I've been Carl Allport with all the action for you live here on Tribe - see you next time!
Netherlands are a tough team to break down. They could have, some would say should have, got something out of that game as they defended as a unit and created chances on the break. Depay will run anyone ragged and he did that today, one assist but not quite the goal to cap the performance. No other real standouts in orange, as it was a real team performance. Maybe Dumfries catching the eye on the right and Malen supporting Depay. But they will prove to be formidable opponents in the 'Real' Games.
Germany probably deserved the win on the balance of play but they didn't have everything their own way. A higher press, more intent in possession and that final piece of luck finally broke the impressive orange wall in front of them. Kroos was quiet, but Musiala and Wirtz impressive. Mittelstadt a real difference-maker again and one to watch in June.
GERMANY ARE BACK!!!!! Consecutive wins against France and now Netherlands as the final whistle sounds, and the Germans are officially looking Ominous 80 days out from the Euros in their own back yard. They went behind to Veerman's early volley, pulled level via Mittelstadt's stunner and won it via the shoulder of Fullkrug.
90+3'
WEGHORST WITH THE CHANCE!!!! A throw-in from the right in attack bounces off Raum in the German box and straight to Weghorst!! His shot from 10 yards just on the right is too close to ter Stegen, though! THAT must've been the chance for Netherlands!
90+3'
Gakpo whips in a free kick from the left but Gross will head clear. Netherlands pressing forwards now.
90+1'
Simon's first touch is a shot from 35 yards, dipping into the bottom left of the goal but saved by ter Stegen. That would've proved Koeman a genius if it went in!!
90'
Wieffer's first touch is a cross from the left all the way over everyone and directly out for a goal kick.
