The hosts got three goals in 20 minutes in the second half with the help of 21-year-old left هافبک باستیان شواینشتایگر. His first goal beat the Portuguese goalkeeper ریکاردو (فوتبالیست، دوغوم ۱۹۷۶) with pace over his head. Only 4 minutes later, Schweinsteiger's free kick 30 metres from the left of the penalty box, driven low across goal, was connected with پتیت's knee to become an own goal for Portugal. The German did not stop, and netted his second goal, which swerved away to the keeper's left, in the 78th minute.
