Midfield general Michael Ballack returned to the German side for the mannschaft's crunch Group A match against Poland at Dortmund on Wednsday night
In the first half, Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski both had clear-cut chances to score but Klose headed past the post from only five yards out - and just before the interval Podolski squandered a golden chance when, with Poland goalkeeper Artur Boruc beaten, he drove his shot wide of the upright.
Crisp, short passing movements were replaced with long balls punted upfield to their forwards and with Germany's loss of precision, Poland gradually crept back into the game.
