A whipped cross looks for Niko Kranjcar but a well-positioned Per Mertesacker heads clear for Joachim Loew's team
The first goal goes to Slaven Bilic's side in the 24th minute when Pranjic's brilliant cross from the left is prodded home by Darijo Srna
Their opponents look to respond through Michael Ballack's free-kick but his effort is punched away by Stipe Pletikosa
Kranjcar has the chance to double Croatia's lead shortly before the interval but a fine save from Jens Lehmann keeps the score at 1-0
Another Pletikosa punch, early in the second half, finds its way to Ballack but he stabs it over the bar as the opportunity goes begging
Germany find themselves 2-0 down when Ivan Rakitic's deflected cross is turned on to the post by Lehmann only for Ivica Olic to tap in
With the game starting to elude his side, Loew replaces Mario Gomez with Bastian Schweinsteiger and urges more from his players
