Meanwhile, Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo could play for the first time since April in Sunday's Confed Cup clash against Australia, says Chile's coach Juan Antonio Pizzi.

"We're keeping possession well and working our opponents around".

Arsenal striker, Alexis Sanchez, has become Chile's all-time leading goalscorer with his early opener in their group clash against Germany at the ongoing Confederations Cup in Russian Federation.

"Both teams are very ambitious, so sometimes they neutralise each other".

"You want to play against the biggest players possible and to go to the highest level as possible".

Sanchez, who is now representing Chile at the Confederations Cup being held in Russian Federation, wasn't giving to much away with his immediate focus on winning yet another major global prize.

The immediate question is that his side have not yet booked their semifinal place and so face a crunch game against Australia on Sunday.

"I cannot complain at the moment and I am happy that I can help the squad", said Stindl, who is locked under contract at Gladbach until 2021.

"So far, so good, and I think that everybody is enjoying playing in the Confederations Cup", he said. Arturo Vidal picked up the ball and quickly sent it back to Sanchez.

"If there's a physical component late in the game it'll only really get tested if we go hard at the start".

Vargas seized on a loose ball 25 yards out and smashed a dipping strike against the underside of the bar, which bounced agonisingly to safety, having had Marc-Andre ter Stegen beaten.

"We made a mistake but we immediately recovered and after that were very well organised". A few minutes later, the crossbar was less kind to Eduardo Vargas; his shot from the edge of the area came down off the bar but bounced on the wrong side of the line.

Despite the early scare, Germany regained their composure and pushed forward.

The goal was loudly cheered by Russian fans who led chants of "Cam-ay-roon" in the second half, trying to help lift the African champion to victory.

Vidal and Bayer Leverkusen s Charles Aranguiz shaded the battle with Germany s defensive midfielder Sebastian Rudy, who will also join Bayern next season, and Liverpool s Can.

Draxler was a strong figure for the Germans in the attacking midfield role, helping out in defence and constantly looking to put Stindl or Leon Goretzka in space.

Finishing second would mean a semi-final in Kazan on Wednesday against the Group A winners.
