Germany and Ukraine share six goals in their charity match in Bremen. Germany started well, Marius Wolf scoring inside six minutes, but Ukraine made the most of three individual errors to take a 3-1 lead. However, Germany found a way back as substitute Kai Havertz cut the deficit before winning a last-gasp penalty that Joshua Kimmich stuck away with aplomb. A fantastic cause, though Germany would doubtless have liked to mark their 1000th international fixture with a win. The Euro 2024 hosts are next in action on Friday against Poland.

Triple change for Ukraine. Yarmolenko, in particular, worked his socks off.

Bremen's Füllkrug and Dortmund's Schlotterbeck make way for Germany. Leipzig's Klostermann and ex-Leverkusen starlet Havertz are on as Flick attempts to plot a way back into the contest.

Germany kick off their 1000th international fixture, playing from right to left.

The end of Ukraine's 'Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy i slava, i volia' ('State anthem of Ukraine') was met by warm applause. Germany's follows, before the captains Kimmich and Yarmolenko exchange customary pre-match pleasantries.

The Weser-Stadion is filling up nicely on what is a glorious evening in Bremen, where temperatures are pushing 30C.

Real Madrid's Antonio Rüdiger is the only non-Bundesliga player in Hansi Flick's starting XI. Frankfurt's Kevin Trapp is in goal, with Dortmund pair Nico Schlotterbeck and Julian Brandt, and Bayern's Leroy Sane the other changes to the March friendly loss to Belgium. Timo Werner is only fit enough for a place on the bench alongside the likes of Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz. Former Dortmund forward Andriy Yarmolenko captains Ukraine.

With their place already assured at next year's tournament, Germany have a series of warm-up games on the calendar to keep them sharp in their bid for glory, with matches against Poland (16 June) and Colombia (20 June) also on the horizon this month. Head coach Hansi Flick announced recently that he will no longer be sending his side out with a back four, but will instead play with a three-man rearguard. "We want to put our upcoming opponents under pressure with a lot of attacking power via the wings, while at the same time be compact in defence with three at the back," said the 58-year-old. "We've got a lot of options to do that in our squad." Germany will be without Bayern Munich attacker Serge Gnabry due to an ankle issue, while Timo Werner is a doubt after sustaining a foot injury in RB Leipzig's DFB Cup final triumph over Eintracht Frankfurt, meaning Bremen forward Niclas Füllkrug - who ended the 2022/23 season as joint-top scorer on 16 goals - could lead the line in his home stadium. Midfielder Ilkay Gündogan will join up with the squad at a later date given his involvement in the UEFA Champions League final with Manchester City. Borussia Dortmund teenaged striker Youssoufa Moukoko and VfB Stuttgart right-back Josha Vagnoman are late call-ups for this fixture from the Euros-bound U21s.

Ukraine also have three matches lined up this month, but have a more immediate need to hit top form after losing their first European Championship qualifying match 2-0 against England in March. In a tough Group C that also includes reigning champions Italy, the forthcoming meetings with North Macedonia (16 June) and Malta (19 June) could go a long way to determining their presence at Euro 2024. Ruslan Rotan was in charge in a caretaker capacity after Oleksandr Petrakov's departure in January, before the Ukrainian FA announced the appointment of former forward Serhiy Rebrov on 7 June. He is likely to lean heavily on the team's star player, Chelsea attacker Mykhailo Mudryk, for creative inspiration, while Roman Yaremchuk should lead the line. Versatile left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko misses out, however, with a calf complaint.

This will be the 1,000th game in Germany's history. Of the team's 999 matches to date, Germany have won 578 (58 per cent), drawn 207 and lost 214.

As UEFA EURO 2024 hosts, Germany's place at the tournament is already guaranteed, so they don't have to go through the usual qualifying campaign. This is the first of three friendlies Hansi Flick's side have lined up this month, ahead of games against Poland (16 June) and Colombia (20 June).
