MAINZ, Germany, March 26 — Germany forward Niclas Fuellkrug scored twice to secure a 2-0 victory over Peru in a friendly on Saturday as the hosts launched their mission to rebuild a competitive team for next year's Euros on home soil.
They did, however, look uncertain at times with the ball in their own half, repeatedly losing possession and struggling with Peru's high pressing. “Sometimes the last pass was not clean enough. We had times where we lost possession. We have to be more careful.”The 30-year-old Fuellkrug opened his account in the 12th minute, turning in the ball after Kai Havertz had played it on with his chest. He had also scored their last World Cup group stage goal.
But Werder Bremen forward Fuellkrug, who made his Germany debut just days before the World Cup, bagged his fifth goal in his fifth international, flicking in a superb cross from newcomer Marius Wolf in the 33rd.
