Germany rallies to beat Bosnia in warm up

Hosts Germany rallied with a strong second half to beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 3-1 yesterday and give themself another confidence boost ahead of the World Cup in South Africa.



Edin Dzeko scored for Bosnia in the 15th minute when Philipp Lahm\'s attempted clearance struck the Wolfsburg striker in the chest and the ball looped over goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.



Lahm made amends by scoring the equalizer in the 50th and Bastian Schweinsteiger converted penalties in the 73rd and 77th to put Germany ahead for good in the last warm-up before the three-time champion travels to South Africa.



Missing five players because of injuries, Germany will send their second-youngest team to the World Cup. Only the team for the inaugural World Cup in 1934 was younger.



In other warm-up games, Mexico beat Italy 2-1 and Spain needed an 85th minute winner to edge South Korea 1-0.
