Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE commentary of the World Cup qualifer between Germany and Northern Ireland in Group C. Team news to follow!

FULL-TIME! Germany record their third victory in Group D with a comfortable 2-0 triumph over Northern Ireland. First-half goals from Julian Draxler and Sami Khedira proved to be the difference in the end.

Three minutes of added time to play at the end of this one. Germany win a corner as they continue to search for a third goal.

Germany remain in complete control of possession as the time ticks closer to full-time.

Fantastic fans who are intent on having a good time, no matter what the result is...

WIDE! Khedira, who has multiple opportunities to find his second of the evening, once again sees his shot drift wide of the goal, this time from around 25 yards.

Who is winning this match? Listening to the fans, it is difficult to tell. The Northern Ireland supporters are singing their hearts out with the old familiar song 'Will Grigg's on fire'. The Wigan striker isn't even here....

MISS! Gundogan somehow fails to extend Germany's lead as he shoots off-target from inside the penalty area, despite having time to pick his spot.

Northern Ireland can only partially clear the corner and the loose ball falls to Mustafi but the Arsenal man is off balance and can't find the target.

Gotze cuts in from the left channel and fires a shot to McGovern's near post but the goalkeeper does well to get down and make the save. The hosts have a corner now...

Finally, Lafferty makes his way onto the pitch. The Norwich City man scored twice and set up a goal in 20 minutes as a second-half substitute against San Marino last time out... can he make a similar impact here? Not likely, but the Northern Ireland faithful would absolutely love it.

WOW! In other Group D news, San Marino have equalised against Norway... in Norway! The minnows just happen to be Germany's next opponents.

Ferguson is shown the first yellow card of the night and rightly so... he catches Kimmich with a late tackle on the touchline.

Michael O'Neill makes his second change of the match... but still Kyle Lafferty remains on the bench.

Northern Ireland venture forward for the first time for a while through Hodson on the channel but the full-back's cross is too close to Neuer who collects easily.

Joachim Low makes his second change of the game.

MISS! The unmarked Khedira somehow misses from six yards out as his header is sent over the bar!

Kroos is the latest player to try his luck with a shot from long range but again, it's not troubling McGovern.

Boateng fires into the stands from distance. The home side are finding too much space in midfield at the moment but are finding it difficult to breach the defence.

Free-flowing Germany move the ball into the visitors penalty area with ease as the full-back Kimmich collects but his shot is blocked before it can reach McGovern's goal.
