Note: This was the last international appearance of Lothar Matthäus, Thomas Haßler and Ulf Kirsten, who all retired immediately from the national team after this game
Oliver Bierhoff wasn't available due to injury
Matthäus had a free role during the whole game, it was hard to give him a defined role as he was heavily shifting between the defense and the midfield unlike other games where he was more conservative on his sweeper role, the formation above display how the German defense started the game
Hamann started the second half as right DMF/CMF alongside Scholl who was relocated deeper in order to accommodate Rink who played as left SS alongside Jancker
