Despite seeing his Germany side beaten 2-1 by United States, coach Joachim Low was able to look on the bright side.
Joachim Low felt Germany's first-half display and Patrick Herrmann's debut in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to the United States were causes for optimism.
Despite Germany dominating much of the first half, Jurgen Klinsmann's side went in level at the break as Mix Diskerud canceled out Mario Gotze's opener a the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne.
However, the visitors controlled the second half and, as in last week's 4-3 victory over Netherlands, Bobby Wood came off the bench to seal the victory.
