' A look at the table before the game was enough to see the urgency of the situation , ' Germany coach Joachim Loew told reporters . 'We played a dynamic game , we then controlled it in the second half but did not have the same drive towards goal . ' Loew said their conversion rate would need to improve after again spurning several good chances and hitting the woodwork twice . 'We again missed some good chances . We had good combinations but failed to score a third or fourth goal . ' Georgia have had a tough start in Group D , recording four defeats and a win in Gibraltar to stay on three points . It did not take long for Germany , with several World Cup winners back in the squad including captain Bastian Schweinsteiger , to threaten with Reus ' powerful drive palmed on to the crossbar by keeper Giorgi Loria after five minutes . With coach Loew reverting to a four-man defence from a three-player experiment against Australia in a friendly on Wednesday , the Germans were in and around their opponents ' box for most of the first half . Thomas Muller slots home the second for Germany as they comfortably dispatched of Georgia . Mueller fired at goal from a corner only to see the ball fly just wide and Mesut Ozil missed another big chance as the visitors had the hosts firmly on the backfoot . Reus did better in the 39th when Mario Goetze charged into the box and was lucky to scramble the ball to the winger , who drilled home for his second goal this week , after also scoring in their 2-2 draw against Australia . Mueller then fired in another on the stroke of halftime to firmly put them in the driving seat . New Georgia coach Kakhaber Tskhadadze added a forward after the break but it was Reus who came close again , rattling the bar for a second time on the hour with another powerful shot . 'We are not yet fully on track and still have to improve , ' said Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer . 'But there is sufficient time and I am very confident . ' Mario Gotze ( right ) fires just wide of the Georgia goal as Germany dominated the game throughout .
Thomas Muller opened the scoring for Germany away to Georgia . The Borussia Dortmund attacker has been heavily linked to Arsenal . Marco Reus doubled the lead right on the stroke of half-time . Germany were rarely troubled and keep the pressure on leaders Poland .
