Germany crashed the opening party at London's new Wembley Stadium with a 2-1 friendly win on Wednesday. By doing so, Germany ensured they were the last full international team to win at the old Wembley and the first to win at the newly rebuilt stadium.

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard put England ahead in the ninth minute but a bad mistake by England goalkeeper Paul Robinson in saving a cross from Bernd Schneider gifted Schalke striker Kevin Kuranyi an equaliser in the 26th minute. Schalke left-back Christian Pander, making his Germany debut, scored the winner in the 40th minute, blasting past Robinson from distance after a skilful build-up.
