　　在上半场时，克罗斯罚球踢到了穆斯塔菲头顶，穆斯塔菲一个头球建功，但是德国队在下半场时遇到了麻烦。

　　Jerome Boateng cleared off the line superbly while keeper Manuel Neuer made several good saves before a late scare.

　　博阿滕门下救险，比赛结束前，守门员诺伊尔也做出了几次精彩的扑救。

　　Yevhen Konoplyanka threatened for Ukraine but they tired, with Bastian Schweinsteiger adding a late second.

　　魏因斯塔格是曼彻斯特的中锋球员，因为膝盖受伤，他从3月20号以来没有上场踢过一次比赛。他作为替补队员上场后，迅速反击，两分钟后便以一记精彩的凌空抽射打入了乌克兰的球门。

　　After Poland beat Northern Ireland earlier on Sunday, Germany now top Group C. On Thursday they face the Poles, who beat them in qualifying for Euro 2016.

　　上周日，波兰队打败了北爱尔兰队，而德国队目前分在C组，也即是说在本周四，德国战车将会和波兰队交锋。在2016欧洲杯资格赛中，波兰队曾击败德国队。

　　With seven defeats in 18 games since winning the World Cup in Brazil two years ago, including against Republic of Ireland and England, the three-time European champions have looked shaky by their usual standards. Two of their three qualifying defeats in the past 10 years have come in reaching this tournament.

　　自从两年前获得巴西世界杯冠军以来，德国战车共参加18场比赛，其中在包括对阵爱尔兰共和国和英国等队伍比赛中，德国队共输掉了7场比赛。德国队曾经三次获得欧洲杯冠军，而近两年的这些反常战绩使得它的名誉受损。在过去的10年里，德国队共参加了三次欧洲杯资格赛，其中有两次德国队通过这一手段进入了欧洲杯的比赛。

　　Up front, Mario Gotze was isolated, and had the fewest touches of any player on the pitch. Fellow midfielders Muller and Mesut Ozil were not at their best, although the Arsenal midfielder crossed for Schweinsteiger’s well-taken goal.

　　在前锋位置，马里奥几乎是独自作战，他带球的次数要比场上任何球员都要少。中场队友穆勒和厄齐尔也不在最佳状态，尽管厄齐尔给魏因斯塔格打出了一记很好的传球。

　　Joachim Low’s side became more resolute at the back as the game wore on, and there is plenty of time for the team to find top form as the tournament progresses, which is a worrying thought for other teams.
