- 90'+4'That is all for now. Goodbye!
- 90'+4'The result leaves Switzerland bottom of the group, with Germany in third place. Spain hammered Ukraine 4-0 in today's other match.
- 90'+4'It's over in Basel, with an entertaining clash having finished 1-1. Germany took the lead through Gundogan's early strike, but Switzerland fought back through Widmer, and in the end were unfortunate not to claim all three points.
- 90'+4'FULL TIME: SWITZERLAND 1-1 GERMANY.
- 90'+3'We’re into the final minute. Akanji drops in a free-kick, but Leno rushes off his line to gather it in.
- 90'+3'Draxler receives a booking for a foul just inside Switzerland's half.
- 90'+1'Switzerland win a free-kick on the edge of the box, which Akanji takes. He hits the wall, but the home side keep up the pressure, with the ball eventually worked back into Xhaka, whose header drifts just wide.
- 89'Should Germany fail to win today, it means they still haven’t won a single Nations League match across the two campaigns so far.
- 86'Kroos attempts a long-range strike, but he sends it well wide to the left-hand side.
- 85'Xhaka goes for goal and attempts to pick out the top corner, but Leno gets over to make the save. Moments later, a cross from the right flank causes havoc for Germany's defence, but the visitors escape unscathed.
- 82'Aebischer is quickly involved as he tries to catch Leno out from range, only to slice his effort well wide.
- 80'Another change for Switzerland sees Sow replaced by Aebischer.
- 78'Gosens has made way for Can in another Germany switch.
- 75'Germany have been unable to get their rhythm since Switzerland equalised, and the match has gone scrappy. You feel that is bound to suit the hosts more.
- 72'Embolo cannot continue, and Vargas is on in his place.
- 71'Embolo is down on the sideline, and he really does look in some pain. For the time being, Switzerland are down to 10 men.
- 70'Embolo is back to his feet, though looks in some pain. Ginter has apologised, but it does not look good for the striker.
- 69'A break in play now, after Embolo takes a robust challenge from his club-mate Ginter, and requires some treatment.
- 67'SAVE! Xhaka catches the ball sweetly, but Leno is equal to his Arsenal team-mate’s effort.
- 66'Werner blasts an effort goalwards. It would have troubled Sommer had it been on target, but a deflection took it out for a corner.
- 64'Rodriguez has made way for Zuber in a Switzerland change.
- 64'Widmer races clear down the right and zips in a low cross. However, it was directed just behind Seferovic, who is unable to take it under his spell.
- 62'Another change for Germany. Sule, who has not looked at his sharpest, has made way for Tah.
- 60'STRIKE! That’s a venomous hit by Rudiger, but Sommer makes a fine stop to prevent Germany retaking the lead.
- 57'It was a rapid counter-attack from Switzerland, with Embolo – who has been a threat all game – playing it across for Widmer to finish.
- 57'GOOOOAAALLL!!! SWITZERLAND ARE LEVEL! Well, against the run of play, Widmer has just drilled a brilliant finish into the bottom-left corner, and for all Germany’s promise early in the second half, it’s 1-1.
- 56'Ginter set up Gundogan’s goal, and has clearly been given the freedom to push up in support of Germany’s attackers at every opportunity. Though he started in a back three, he is playing in a similar way to a right-back at the moment.
- 54'Another effort from Draxler goes wide, this time without the help of a deflection. Germany have certainly started the second half with more urgency.
- 52'CLOSE! Ginter gets forward and drills a pass into Draxler, whose first-time strike takes a deflection off Elvedi and flashes just wide.
- 49'Steffen has received a booking for a foul on Gundogan. That booking will rule Steffen out of Switzerland's next Nations League match.
- 48'Brandt’s introduction seems to have resulted in a change of shape for Germany, with Draxler and Brandt now flanking Werner.
- 45'+1'Switzerland will – and should – fancy their chances of getting a result here, though Germany have plenty of attacking talent on show. We should be in for an enthralling second half.
- 45'+1'It’s Germany that lead in Basel, courtesy of Gundogan’s excellent goal. Werner wasted an excellent chance to add to the visitors’ lead, while Seferovic has hit the post and squandered a brilliant chance at the other end.
- 46'KICK-OFF! We are back underway in Basel.
- 46'Sane will not return for the second half. Brandt is on in his place.
- 45'+1'HALF-TIME: SWITZERLAND 0-1 GERMANY.
- 45'Sane leads a Germany counter-attack but, despite having team-mates in support, he can’t get a pass off.
- 44'It is remarkable that there has only been the one goal in this match so far, with both sides having had plenty of chances.
- 39'Embolo races forward as space opens up for him in the centre of the park. Ginter dives in, and that just pressurises the Switzerland forward into snatching at his shot and sending it wide.
- 38'CHANCE! Werner’s first opportunity of the game comes after the Chelsea forward is picked out by Gosens. He takes a brilliant touch to set himself and, on the volley, he gets a shot away, but he fails to keep it down.
- 36'CLOSE! Seferovic tries a shot from distance, which takes a wicked deflection off Ginter. The ball loops up and over Leno, but sails just over the bar.
- 34'Seferovic forces Sow wide with a poor pass, but the midfielder still manages to hook in a cross. However, there is too much on it and nothing comes of the attack.
- 32'SAVE! That’s a brilliant stop by Sommer, who reacts instinctively to keep out Draxler’s first-time strike, with the Paris Saint-Germain man having latched onto Werner’s pass. Sommer is back up immediately to deny Sane on the rebound, but the offside flag is up against the ex-Manchester City star.
- 31'Almost! Gundogan tries to thread a pass through to Sane, but a defender just gets there before the Bayern Munich winger manages to do so.
- 30'Sule has gone into the book.
- 28'MISS! What a dreadful attempt by Seferovic! Sow did brilliantly to play in the striker but, despite having the goal gaping in front of him, Seferovic somehow manages to skew his effort away from goal, with Sow blazing over on the follow up.
- 26'Two more attempts from Switzerland, who are now building some momentum. First, Sow sees a long-range strike blocked, before Steffen – who was played in by Embolo – sees his effort saved by Leno.
- 24'Widmer rises highest to meet a cross from the left, but he sends his header straight at Leno.
- 21'Half-a-chance for Switzerland, as Benito cuts in on his right foot and tries to bend a shot into the far corner. However, he does not generate enough curl to trouble Leno.
- 19'Switzerland have really failed to get to grips with Germany so far, and the visitors are beginning to dictate play.
- 17'Bizarre! That could easily have been an own goal for the ages from Sow! For some reason known only to himself, he tried to curl a lofted pass back to Sommer, who was caught flat-footed. Fortunately for Switzerland, the ball nestled into the side netting.
- 17'Rudiger is unmarked from the resulting corner, but his header flashes across the face of goal.
- 16'Switzerland's starting XI in this game features twice as many players who are currently playing in the Bundesliga (six) as their opponents Germany (three).
- 14'Ginter found himself surrounded in Switzerland’s box, but the defender still managed to lay it off for Gundogan, who supplied an excellent finish.
- 14'GOOOAALLL! A brilliant finish from Gundogan puts Germany 1-0 up! That really was an exquisite effort from the Manchester City midfielder, who passed a first-time strike into the bottom-right corner after he was teed up by Ginter.
- 12'CHANCE! Embolo lets a pass from Steffen run through into the area. Seferovic is somewhat slow to react, but still gets to the ball just ahead of Leno. However, the Germany goalkeeper reacts sharply to smother any danger.
- 9'A pretty even start in terms of possession. Germany have had 51.7 per cent, with Switzerland seeing 48.3 per cent.
- 7'Chance! The first opportunity of the game goes Germany’s way, and it falls to Sane. He cut back onto his weaker right foot but still got plenty of power on his shot. However, Sommer was equal to it.
- 5'It has been a rather scrappy opening from both sides. Sweden are sitting extremely deep in their shape, which certainly seems to have Embolo and Seferovic as a striking pair.
- 3'A stray pass from Rodriguez provides Germany with the opportunity to break. Kroos gets a shot off, but he was off balance and his low effort was easily blocked.
- 1'KICK-OFF! The match is underway in Basel.
- -The teams are out at St. Jakob-Park, and the national anthems have just been played.
- -Low, meanwhile, makes two changes, with Trapp and Can dropping out and Leno and Ginter coming in.
- -GERMANY SUBSTITUTES: Kevin Trapp, Jonathan Tah, Florian Neuhaus, Julian Brandt, Gian-Luca Waldschmidt, Robin Koch, Suat Serdar, Oliver Baumann, Emre Can.
- -GERMANY (3-4-1-2): Bernd Leno; Antonio Rudiger, Niklas Sule, Matthias Ginter; Thilo Kehrer, Toni Kroos, Ilkay Gundogan, Robin Gosens; Julian Draxler; Timo Werner, Leroy Sane.
- -It appears as though Switzerland boss Vladimir Petkovic has gone to match Germany up today, formation-wise, at least. There have been three changes in total, with Widmer, Benito and Steffen coming in.
- -SWITZERLAND SUBSTITUTES: Yvan Mvogo, Mario Gavranovic, Michael Lang, Simon Sohm, Christian Fassnacht, Jonas Omlin, Steven Zuber, Michel Aebishcer, Ruben Vargas, Albian Ajeti, Becir Omeragic.
- -SWITZERLAND (3-5-2): Yann Sommer; Nico Elvedi, Manuel Akanji, Ricardo Rodriguez; Silvan Widmer, Renato Steffen, Djibril Sow, Granit Xhaka, Loris Benito; Breel Embolo, Haris Seferovic.
- -It was a rather frustrating Nations League campaign for Germany in the 2018-19 season. Joachim Low had been looking to revitalise an ageing squad ahead of Euro 2020, though of course due to the impact of coronavirus, he has been given more time to do so than initially expected. Switzerland, of course, reached the semi-finals of the last Nations League tournament.
- -Germany drew 1-1 with Spain in their opening match of Group A4 on Thursday, while Switzerland went down 2-1 to Ukraine.
- -Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of Germany’s Nations League clash with Switzerland!
