Former Bayern Munich keeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen's Germany career seems in tatters with his national team coach suggesting that the former's chances to going to the WC are 'very, very slim'.

"The chance is very, very, very slim, because you have to consider the overall situation," said Nagelsmann. 

"He didn't play for a year and then got injured. He's been out for a year, so to speak, and played very little.

"He should give it his all in his rehab... But he's not 21 anymore. He's got a few games under his belt.

"I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him, but we all have to be patient."

National anthems played out with Ghana being first then followed by Germany's.

Peep! And we are away at the MHP Arena with Ghana playing from right to left of the screens.

Germany 0-0 Ghana 1'

Superb move from the hosts! GER captain Joshua Kimmich releases Kai Havertz and the Arsenal forward tees up to Nick Woltemade but the Newcastle player shoots it wide.

Germany 0-0 Ghana 4'

This has been a superb start from Germany with the hosts piling on the pressure on the African opponents. Kai Havertz is fouled just on the edge of the penalty area and Stuart Atwell awards a free-kick. Florian Wirtz's effort goes wide.

Germany 0-0 Ghana 6'

Ghana are parked in their own half with Germany piling pressure on the goal. The African opponents are doing well to keep them at bay but for how long.

Germany 0-0 Ghana 11'

Arsenal's Kai Havertz has been in the thick of the action for Germany. The lanky German is making things tick for the hosts with most of the fouls coming on the Arsenal forward.

Germany 0-0 Ghana 13'

Man City's newest recruit Antoine Semenyo has been kept quiet so far with the player hardly finding the ball. He looks frustrated with his side unable to cope with the German pressure.

Germany 0-0 Ghana 18'

His club form might be up for discussion but Florian Wirtz has been impressive whenever he has donned the German shirt. The midfielder is his side's best creative output and his form will be key at the World Cup.

Germany 0-0 Ghana 24'

Ghana have not troubled the German goal but this time they do, as they find a corner. Ayew sends one in but its cleared but the Black Stars somehow get the ball back into the penalty area via Semenyo's cross but Kimmich clears.

Germany 0-0 Ghana 28'

Kai Havertz is fouled again as Germany win a free-kick. Kimmich lines one up with a cross with Schlotterbeck's header saved and Tah's effort going wide.

Germany 0-0 Ghana 31'

Nick Woltemade brilliantly tees up for Florian Wirtz with the Liverpool player neatly slotting in the Ghanian goal. However, the Newcastle player is off in the buildup and goal is ruled out.

Germany 0-0 Ghana 34'

Good bit of possession for Ghana as we head towards HT in Sttugart. Germany have been lacking the cutting-edge in front of goal. Ghana know that one break and they could be on the German goal.

Germany 0-0 Ghana 41'

Jonas Adjetey seems to have handled the ball in the penalty area as the fourth official signals Atwell to have a look at the screen. The Premier League referee does take a moment and blows for a penalty. Kai Havertz steps up and coolly blasts it past the GHA keeper.

Germany 1-0 Ghana 45'+3'

Germany 1 Ghana 0

Players walking out for the 2nd half with Germany leading 1-0 thanks to Havertz's penalty. Big news coming from the game that Bayern's Lennart Karl is coming on.

Germany 1-0 Ghana 45'

Elisha Owusu replaces Kwasi Sibo for Ghana.

Lennart Karl replaces Kai Havertz

Deniz Undav replaces Serge Gnabry

Antonio Rüdiger replaces Jonathan Tah

Germany 1-0 Ghana 45'

Germany continue where they left off in the 1st half with Rudiger coming close to doubling the lead. GHA living dangerously with Germans on the prowl and one mistake could open the floodgates.

Germany 1-0 Ghana 48'

So close for Germany to doubling their lead. Nick Woltemade receives a nice cross from Lennart Karl but the Newcastle player's header hits the bar, much to the frustration of the home crowd and the German players.

Germany 1-0 Ghana 53'

Foul after foul meaning this is a physical game between two teams. The Premier League ref is kept busy tonight, that's for sure!

Germany 1-0 Ghana 58'

Ghana win a corner and it's their best bit of action this half and the skipper Jordan Ayew comes close to equalling only for his effort going wide as it ricochets off Woltemade.

Germany 1-0 Ghana 58'

Ghana have been decent in this half, with chances being few and far between. Their cutting edge has been a let down despite having Semenyo up top.

Germany 1-0 Ghana 66'

Oh Hello! Where did this come from as Ghana find an equaliser out of no where. Derrick Köhn does a nice bit of trickery on the left and then tees up for the Leicester City forward, who slots it past Nubel.

Germany 1-1 Ghana 70'

Ghanian fans are enjoying their time inside the stadium. Their team are showing resolve after their horror show against Austria where they collapsed in the second-half.

Germany 1-1 Ghana 76'

Germany have lost their early zip and cutting-edge from the first half as they look to find the winner. Ghana are finding some joy with Semenyo and Ayew still on the pitch.

Germany 1-1 Ghana 80'

What an incredible moment for Deniz Undav! The forward nets, what could potentially be the winner for Germany, on his home turf. The former Brighton man plays for Stuttgart in the Bundesliga and the home fans surely enjoyed that.

Germany 2-1 Ghana 88'

Whistle is blown as Deniz Undav's late goal hands Germany victory over Ghana in this closely fought contest.

Germany 2-1 Ghana
