Max Meyer's opener and Paulus Arajuuri's own goal handed the win to Germany, who gave a debut to Hoffenheim defender Niklas Seuele, a member of Horst Hrubesch's silver medal-winning Olympic team. Manchester United midfielder Schweinsteiger, who announced his international retirement on July 29 following Germany's semi-final elimination from Euro 2016, played for 68 minutes before going off to a standing ovation. It has been an honour to play for you," Schweinsteiger told the fans. We will see each other again in the future and, until then, I wish the national side all the best." The 32-year-old, part of the 2014 World Cup-winning squad, is fourth on the all-time list of appearances for Germany.
