Germany and Wales played out a goalless draw in their final Euro 2008 qualifier on Wednesday. Germany, long since assured of qualifying for the finals along with Group D winners Czech Republic, created a handful of good chances in the first half but the match petered out after the break.
Wales, with nothing riding on the game, competed well enough but rarely threatened Jens Lehmann's goal. The closest they came was in the 35th minute when Carl Fletcher flashed a shot wide from outside the area. Germany had already wasted the game's best opportunities by that stage.
Lukas Podolski cracked over a shot from a good position in the 10th minute, Tim Borowski hit a post soon afterwards and Mario Gomez planted a header wide from close range after Philipp Lahm had
picked him out with a cross from the left.
The team gave thanks to the fans following the game, displaying a banner with the line "Going to the EURO with YOU".
