#2 Mats Grambusch
In a game where only one goal was scored in the entirety of sixty minutes, one would be forgiven for thinking that a defender from either side should have received the Player of the Match award. However, the honours went to the attacking Mats Grambusch. And for good reason as the 26-year old worked tirelessly right throughout the match in order to create productive chances for Germany.
Grambusch was denied by the adroitness of Pakistan's defence. But the man from Rot-Weiss Köln covered a lot of space and kept challenging the Green Shirts with his inventiveness. The seamless manner in which he worked his way past the defenders played a key role in those myriad circle penetrations for Germany. However, he will be ruing a couple of close misses in the third quarter. On another day, he might have had a couple of goals to his name.
