Gnabry had a chance to make it 2–0 in the 25th minute after bursting into the box, but his low strike was blocked by Martin Dubravka. He made up for it just four minutes later, converting a superb through-ball from Leon Goretzka for Germany’s second.

Striker Woltemade said,
“We played a really well good game tonight. From the first to the last second, we did not allow anything at the back and were creative. I hope it was fun to watch us tonight and It is great to play for Germany. We have now qualified for the World Cup 2016.”
The game slowed in the second half, but goals from Ridle Baku and 19-year-old debutant Assan Ouedraogo capped the rout, with Ouedraogo setting a record as Germany’s youngest scorer.
