Joachim Loew says Germany can improve further in Monday’s Euro 2016 qualifier away to Scotland after Mario Goetze’s goals sealed a 3-1 win over Poland to top their group.
Thomas Mueller gave the hosts an early lead in Frankfurt on Friday and Goetze scored twice as Germany avenged last year’s 2-0 away defeat in Warsaw to replace Poland at the top of group D
All four goals came from Bayern Munich players as Poland captain Robert Lewandowski pulled one back with a diving header as it finished 2-1 at the break.
Mueller and Goetze then combined for Germany’s third on 82 minutes to kill off hopes of a late Poland equaliser.
“We had one goal, to win the game, that was the most important thing,” said Germany head coach Loew after arguably his side’s best display since winning the 2014 World Cup.

“We had one goal, to win the game, that was the most important thing,” said Germany head coach Loew after arguably his side’s best display since winning the 2014 World Cup.
“All in all, we can be very happy, the team were very focused over long stretches, but the chances Poland had came from our mistakes.
“It will be a different type of game against Scotland, much tighter and we have areas to improve.”
It was Poland’s first defeat in seven Euro 2016 qualifiers in an impressive display from the Germans after several below-par performances last season.
Scotland’s 1-0 defeat away by Georgia saw them drop to fourth in the table with Germany top on 16 points, Poland now second on 14 while Ireland go third with 12, one ahead of the Scots.
But Toni Kroos echoed Loew’s sentiments ahead of Germany’s next qualifier at Glasgow’s Hampden Park.
“It was a deserved win, but on occasion we invited Poland to attack us, which we have to improve,” said the Real Madrid midfielder.
“All in all, it was a good win, but Scotland could be an unpleasant opponent to face [after their defeat] and we’ve been warned.” (Source:http://www.scmp.com/sport/soccer)
