Mueller took advantage of shoddy Norwegian defending to give the title holders an early lead and headed the third goal on the hour of the European Group C game. In between, he produced a superb pass to set up Joshua Kimmich for his first international goal. A lucky bounce gave Norway a rare opening but Joshua King, given a free shot on goal, sent his effort high and wide. Germany scored again on the stroke of halftime when Mueller threaded the ball to Kimmich who drove it into the far corner, leaving two Norway defenders on the ground. The second half continued in a similar vein and it was no surprise when Mueller added a third, heading in from Sami Khedira's cross for his 34th international goal.
