Ukraine are quite a poor side and may still get something from this game.

Is that on Radio 5?

This half has been poorer

Yes it is on the red button alternative on BBC - so much better than Pearce and Murphy.

And I agree with you about this half. Ukraine seem to have lost the drive and will they found in the first half.

Jens Lehmann providing some excellent punditry on the 5Live red button commentary. A real insight into the German team and tactics. Conor McNamara doing well with the commentary too.

Pyatov lucky not be punished for his appalling misjudgement in coming for that corner.

Don't think Gotze is better than Munich's existing team
Who knows how Ancelotti will play though.

Indeed, glad someone else is appreciating it.

Lehmann very mindful that 1-0 is not a secure score. Ukraine I think are playing to hold that score, before they make another big push in the closing stage of this half - well, I hope they are.

TV has been the same old same old, over-praising the Germans. I should have pressed the red button.

Nice moment - Lehmann asks McNamara 'What is a Hollywood pass?'

Another scuffed shot

Good awareness from Pyatov there to quickly come out and deny Schurrle.

Doesn't look like Ukraine have one final surge left in them here, the Germans have worn them down.

Good shout.

Much better analysis and commentary from McNamara and Lehman

Bloody hell, what was Mustafi doing there?

He was just completely unaware of where Neuer was.

Ukraine waking up a bit now. Not sure why the commentators have been praising Germany so much. They're not playing that well.

Almost a catastrophe for Germany!

Very impressed with Pyatov.

That was a foul by Neuer and a penalty to Ukraine - not given.

Was thinking the same, if the player did that to the keeper it is a foul all day long
