GERMANY ARE CRUISING into the quarter-finals after an accomplished first-half against Slovakia.
Jerome Boateng blasted an eighth minute strike low and hard from the edge of the area following a corner. On first viewing, it looked like a crisp strike from the centre half, but replays show a slight deflection that took it out of the goalkeeper’s reach.

What was well within Matúš Kozáčik’s range though, was Mesut Özil’s 14th minute penalty – awarded after Martin Skrtel pushed Mario Gomez in the back.

Mario Gomez did poke in a second German goal two minutes before the break, well-placed to take advantage after a an excellent Julian Draxler dribble.
