Die Mannschaft had to come from behind to beat Peru, with their head coach admitting afterwards that "the balance is not yet 100 per cent"
Joachim Low has acknowledged that Germany are still a work in progress, but praised his side for never giving up as they secured a 2-1 friendly win over Peru.
Germany secured their first victory since they crashed out of the 2018 World Cup at the group stage when debutant Nico Schulz's scruffy shot squirmed under Peru goalkeeper Pedro Gallese's body.
Peru had led at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena on Sunday when Luis Advincula stormed past Schulz and squeezed a near-post effort beyond Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and the South Americans had opportunities in the second half too after Julian Brandt had levelled with a cool chipped finish over Gallese.
