Germany coach Jurgen Klinsmann praised his match-winning substitutes Oliver Neuville and David Odonkor as his side secured their second Group A victory of the tournament with a 1-0 win against Poland.

Odonkor crossed for Neuville to force the ball home in stoppage time to leave the hosts on the brink of qualifying for the last 16.

Klinsmann said: "We wanted to bring more speed into the match and both substitutes are fast - they brought some life to the match.

"These are very special moments, also for the coach.

"When everything comes together like this it's like a big burst, one feels the emotion of the players."
