Germany defeated Costa Rica 4-2 with amazing performance. Germany were dominant and Leon Goretzka almost scored at the back post only for his header to be turned away by Keylor Navas, before the impressive Jamal Musiala masterfully tip-toed his way into the Costa Rica area but pushed his effort wide. The victory was not enough though as the 2014 world champions finished third in Group E behind runners-up Spain and winners Japan. Raum and Antonio Rudiger failed to deal with a long ball, allowing Keysher Fuller through, but his powerful effort on goal was brilliantly palmed over by the veteran German stopper.

Germany head coach Hansi Flick said: “In the first half I was disappointed and very angry at my team and how we allowed the opponent to come back. We wanted to score three or four goals in the first half but then we made mistakes.
“But the tournament was not decided today for us. We did not have any efficiency at this tournament and that is why we were eliminated.
Germany forward Thomas Muller told German broadcaster ARD: “It’s an absolute disaster. I don’t know what happens next.
“If this was my last game, then I would like to say a few words to the German football fans. It was an enormous pleasure, dear people.
“We experienced great moments. I tried to leave my heart on the pitch in every game.
