Germany's Under 21 has celebrated their first win under new coach Rainer Adrion and finished third at the Lobanovskiy Memorial in Ukraine. In Borodjanka it was Änis Ben-Hatira of Bundesliga side Hamburger SV, who scored the decisive goal three minutes from time to secure the 1-0 win against Iran.
After losing the semifinal in Adrion's debut against Turkey (1-3) one day earlier, the DFB coach fielded a completely different German side, including debutants Sven Ulreich and Roman Neustädter.
After controlling the match for most of the first half, Turkish referee Tolga showed the Red Card to goalkeeper Ulreich after 44 minutes for a professional foul, conceding a penalty to the Iranians thereafter. But Mohamad sent the ball over the crossbar.
