"The Germans typically dominate possession and are dangerous from set-pieces. However, they do have their weaknesses. Fast, precise counter-attacks and a physical approach could be effective against them," Santa Cruz told DPA. He was a direct participant in the Round of 16 clash between the two nations at the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, where Germany won 1-0 thanks to Oliver Neuville's late goal.
