That's it, full time. An easy win for Germany, who had none of the complaceny of other sides. A deserved win, and one that came after an early setback. For Azerbaijan, they can be pleased with much of their performance, but they just weren't able to defend well enough.
There will be three more minutes of this.
Germany are running down the clock, as they have been for the last 50 minutes.
Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, he's gonnnna plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, as Kroos comes off.

T. Kroos
A shove from Sane gives away a meaningless foul. But isn't everything, in the existential sense, truly meaningless? I don't know, so get those tweets coming!
Eddy replaces Amirguliyev. Howedes was booked a moment ago for a dastardly challenge.
I'm led to believe Draxler has been on the pitch, but Sane has now replaced him.
Gurbanov on for Ismaylov.
GOAL! Azerbaijan 1-4 Germany. Schurrle scores - Hector, after a wonderful passing move from Germany, picks out Schurrle to his right. He steadies himself with a touch, and rifles it into the top corner. Game over man, game over!

Gary Birtles has been fuming about Azerbaijan taking too many touches. It's because they're not as good as Germany, Gary.
Khedira takes an early shot when a pullback might have been expected, but Agayev grabs hold of it well.
Draxler is on the pitch!
Yilmaz loses the ball with his back to goal, and Germany come back to press in the opponent's half.
With 20 minutes left, it seems both sides are happy to let the game drift as it is.
Ismaylov's corner is glanced wide of the far post. That's been one of their best chances, as their attacking effectiveness has waned.
Sheydaev is replaced by Yilmaz.
Hummels ficks a pass to the back pass for Muller, but he can't get to what would be a great opportunity because he's just too far away.
Ismaylov has the chance to cross, but Leno is able to collect it. It's a waste of a good opportunity.
Ozil ghosts onto the pitch, replacing Gomez.
On
M. Özil
Off
M. Gómez
Germany are playing the ball around in defence, but make regular incursions towards the Azerbaijani goal. Kimmich wins a corner on the right wing.
