Serbia wasted their first chance when Milos Ninkovic blasted Milos Krasic's inch-perfect cross over the bar. Mueller and Klose looked threatening for Germany but got frustrations after he missed the chances. The game was turned upside down when the German forward player was given marching orders after receiving second booking for pushing down Milos Krasic. Germany quickly tried to level up the score and with Khedira seizing on Stojkovic's kick for a long shot that hit the bar.
Podolski almost equalised when he chased Khedira's long pass and struck the ball wide under threat from the onrushing Vidic. The pressure paid off when Germany were awarded a penalty for handball by Vidic but Podolski's poorly struck spot kick was turned away by Stojkovic, who was later named as a man of the match. Serbia fought hard to protect their lead and could have had a second when Zigic's header clipped the bar.
