Match overview
Germany survived a second-half comeback from South Korea to win 3-2 in Dallas. The holders led 3-0 at half-time, but the Koreans scored twice after the break to set up a tense finish.
Trivia
This match is remembered for Germany’s dominant first half and South Korea’s spirited response. Klinsmann’s performance was a highlight, as was the energy-sapping Texas heat that affected both teams.
