The shellshocked visitors gave up several chances in the opening half an hour but eventually fought back to lead, thanks to two goals in seven minutes from Deniz Undav and new captain Joshua Kimmich before the break.
Denzel Dumfries, who missed a golden chance early, levelled things up just after half-time and despite both sides spurning chances – including a poor Kai Havertz miss from close range – the score remained level at full-time.
Germany forward Jamal Musiala told RTL his side were still adjusting to the loss of veterans Toni Kroos, Manuel Neuer, Ilkay Gundogan and Thomas Mueller, who retired from international football in the summer.
“It wasn’t our day, but we need to learn from that. We need to be more secure with the ball but we can take some positives out of the game.
“We’ve lost four legends from the team but it’s a process, the atmosphere is still really good.”
