Germany 2 - Belarus 2 [Video]

Joachim Löw's side let a two-goal lead slip in their penultimate friendly before UEFA EURO 2008™ in Kaiserslautern.

Belarus comeback
Two early German goals had suggested a resounding win was on the cards but poor defending allowed the visitors to earn a draw. Miroslav Klose and an own goal had put the home side in command inside 20 minutes but the final third of the match saw an unexpected twist with Vitali Bulyga scoring twice to give Löw some food for thought.

Defensive absentees
Germany were without a number of defenders including Heiko Westermann, who had joined his wife for the birth of their child, so Thomas Hitzlsperger was used as a makeshift left-back. Two holding midfielders were deployed in Michael Ballack and Torsten Frings, while Löw used the same attacking duo in Klose and Lukas Podolski that shone during the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
