Goalscorer Fabian Ruiz has a cheeky go from an awkward angle down the right, towards the near post and attempting to catch the German goalkeeper out, but curls his effort over.

Despite the goal, not seen much goalmouth action after half an hour.

Spain now have a free-kick down the right.

It is getting a bit spicy.

There is a coming together between Fabian Ruiz and Nadiem Amiri after the German drags his opponent back and then takes a swipe at his legs.

Just a word from the referee, sensible.

A real scramble in the Spain box with Maximilian Eggestein and Nadiem Amiri seeing shots blocked.

It then falls out wide for Levin Oztunali, but the Mainz player's shot deflects into the hands of goalkeeper Antonio Sivera.

The referee has a black kit with bright purple socks on.

Get him off.

A real intercontinental midfield for Germany.

Nadiem Amiri of Afghan descent, Suat Serdar who has a Turkish background and Mahmoud Dahoud from Syria.

Bit better from Germany.

Nadiem Amiri of Hoffenheim drills a low cross across the six yard box but Luca Waldschmidt is caught on his heels and the chances is lost.

Lord Andrew Dennett‏: Isn't incorrectly given a goal kick rather then a corner not "a clear and obvious error"? and should therefore be subject to VAR?

No idea about the rules now, tbh.

"It's tiki-taka from Spain," says Martin Tyler on TV comms.

He knows.

The Spaniards are quicker, sharper, cleverer to every ball.

They are hogging the possession and running rings around Germany at the moment.

Spain in total control of the contest, Germany cannot lay a glove on them.

Germany fall behind early and see the Spain area for the first time.

Left-back Benjamin Henrichs plays a cross which takes a huge deflection and ends up in the side netting.

Corner to Germany.

NO?? The referee points for a goal kick.

Seen plenty of Fabian Ruiz for Napoli, he has a gifted left foot on him.

Can't believe he is only 23.

New West Ham signing Pablo Fornals looks a really tidy player on the ball.

Looking forward to seeing him in the Premier League next season.

No chances created by either side yet.

The Germany coach is a proper throwback for people of a certain again.

Former international striker Stefan Kuntz.

HAHAHA! The ball is brought onto the centre circle by a remote control car, that is brilliant.

Away we go in Udine, Italy.

Tournament ambassador Andrea Pirlo brings the trophy out onto the side of the pitch before the players emerge.

The Italy legend is wearing a designer blue suit, brown shoes and no socks.

Only a certain calibre of man can pull that off.

SC Freiburg's Luca Waldschmidt will be looking to set a new tournament goal-scoring record for defending champions Germany.

The 23-year-old has already scored seven goals, including a hat-trick in the group-stage victory over Norway, and number eight would see him overtake Swede Marcus Berg's record, achieved in 2009.

How many of these players have progressed to being first-team regulars?
