Germany 2 New Zealand 0, 28th July 1999

First Published: Jul 29, 1999

Germany restored some shaken confidence with this easy 2-0 win against New Zealand.

The press reaction back in Europe to their 4-0 destruction by Brazil's second stringers saw a resolute German approach to this game.

The hostile media though was hardly reassured by the first half goals that sealed the win. Veteran Lothar Matthaeus hit a low drive in the 32nd minute to add to Michael Preez's 6th minute tap in after Mehmet Scholl had slapped a free kick against a post.
