Podolski's 81st-minute goal prevented the Socceroos' repeating their shock 2-1 win over Germany in Moenchengladbach in 2011 after they had caused the world champions all sorts of problems. The 29-year-old popped up with his 48th goal for Germany on his 122nd appearance just nine minutes after coming on.
