They ended up with five points and second in the group.

Germany bagged seven points as group winners and will next meet Mexico, who came second in Group A, behind Portugal, in the semi-final to be played on Thursday

Portugal and Mexico booked their own places in the semi-finals, coming up on top in Group A.
