Match Reports
Marco Reus and Serge Gnabry starred with two goals apiece as Germany hammered Estonia 8-0 in Mainz on Tuesday to maintain their 100 per cent start to Euro 2020 qualifying.
Coach Joachim Low was absent again – having also missed the win over Belarus – due to an injury sustained in a "sporting accident" last month, but Estonia were so poor his unavailability was barely noticed in an emphatic win led by Reus and Gnabry.
The Borussia Dortmund star opened the scoring early on and also got Germany's spectacular fifth, with Gnabry, Leon Goretzka and Ilkay Gundogan netting in between.

Match Events
10' GOAL! Germany 1-0 Estonia (Reus)
REUS PUTS GERMANY AHEAD! Kehrer cuts the ball back into the six-yard box and Reus is left unmarked as he fires his shot over the goalkeeper, who had gone to ground to save the effort, and into the roof of the net.
17' GOAL! Germany 2-0 Estonia (Gnabry)
Sane squares the ball to Gnabry, who is waiting in the middle of the goal to tap it into the back of the empty net.
20' GOAL! Germany 3-0 Estonia (Goretzka)
It's just too easy for Germany! Mets doesn't clear his lines when he has the chance and gives it to Kimmich. His cross into the middle picks out Goretzka, who rises higher than everyone else, and he nods the ball into the top corner.
26' Penalty Goal! Germany 4-0 Estonia (Gundogan)
Goretzka was making a run into the six-yard box to get on the end of Kimmich's pass and he was just tugged back by Tamm. The referee is in no doubt as he quickly points to the spot.
And Gundogan confidently steps up to the spot and after a short run-up, fires his shot to the left of the goal and wrong foots the goalkeeper.
37' GOAL! Germany 5-0 Estonia (Reus)
REUS MAKES IT FIVE! He was one of three players stood over the set-piece and he struck the effort really well. His shot curled up and over the wall before beating the keeper and nestling into the back of the net
62' GOAL! Germany 6-0 Estonia (Gnabry)
Halstenberg drills a low cross into the box and Gnabry was making a run onto it. He reached it before Lepmets and tapped it into the back of the net.
68' OFFSIDE! Sane scores but goal is disallowed
Sule's throughball caught out the Estonia defenders and picked out Sane on the edge of the box. He took the ball under control well before firing his shot into the far corner of the net from a tight angle on the right. The linesman put his flag up, but Sane had actually been onside when the pass was played.
79' GOAL! Germany 7-0 Estonia (Werner)
Werner gets the better of Tamm as he brings the ball under control on the left side of the box and the goalkeeper is quickly off his line to close him down. The substitute brilliantly chips it over Lepmets though to nestle the ball into the far corner of the net.
88' GOAL! Germany 8-0 Estonia (Sane)
It's third time lucky for Sane as he finally finds the back of the net with a brilliant curling effort around Pikk and into the bottom corner. This time, he had drifted into an offside position, but the linesman didn't see it.
