( CNN ) -- Germany underlined their impressive credentials ahead of Euro 2012 with a 3-0 thrashing of arch-rivals the Netherlands on Tuesday in Hamburg . The Germans , who will be among the favorites next year in Ukraine and Poland , swept aside the 2010 World Cup runners-up with veteran striker Miroslav Klose inspirational . He set up Thomas Muller to put the home side ahead in the early stages before helping himself to the second goal and his 63rd for Germany in the 26th minute . It left him just five short of the legendary Gerd Muller 's all-time record . The 33-year-old Lazio striker then worked in Real Madrid 's Mesut Ozil for a close range strike in the 66th minute as Germany sealed their first win over the Dutch since 1996 . `` The whole team made the match a lot of fun to play in , '' Ozil told AFP . Meanwhile , world and European champions Spain needed two goals in the final seven minutes to rescue a 2-2 draw with Costa Rica in their friendly clash . Just three days after a 1-0 defeat to England , Vicente Del Bosque 's Spain fell behind on 31 minutes in San Jose when forward Randall Brenes capitalized on an error from goalkeeper Iker Casillas to clip a shot over defender Carles Puyol and into the empty net . It was a nightmare moment for Real Madrid 's Casillas , who was celebrating making his 127th appearance for Spain and becoming their most-capped player . It got worse for Spain three minutes before half time when Lorient striker Joel Campbell , who is on-loan from English Premier League side Arsenal , doubled Costa Rica 's lead . Spain pressed in the second half , eventually breaking the home team 's resistance with seven minutes remaining when Manchester City playmaker David Silva finished after a neat exchange with midfielder Andres Iniesta . Barcelona 's David Villa spared Spain 's blushes as the match entered stoppage time , stooping to head home his 51st international goal and rescue a draw for the visitors . Elsewhere , England made it two wins in five days at Wembley with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sweden . England made several changes from the side which beat Spain 1-0 last Saturday , but were largely in command for much of the match against their fellow Euro 2012 qualifiers . It was England 's first win over Sweden in 43 years and captain John Terry , recalled to the team despite being under investigation for alleged racial abuse , said he never had any intention of sitting the match out because of the controversy . `` No chance , '' he said . `` I 'm very passionate , very confident being England captain and very proud to be , also . '' England 's only goal in the first half , their 2,000th in internationals , was originally given to midfielder Gareth Barry , but his header took a final touch off Sweden 's Daniel Majstorovic . Debutant Jack Rodwell missed a glorious opportunity for his first goal for England and Manchester United youngster Phil Jones also went close as the home side might have added further to their tally against a below-par Swedish side who rarely threatened . Meanwhile in Rome , Sebastian Fernandez scored the only goal of the game as Uruguay beat Italy 1-0 win in the Olympic Stadium . Mario Balotelli went close for Italy before former Juventus fullback Martin Caceres crossed for Fernandez to help the ball home .
