Ten-man Germany stunned by Serbia's 1-0 victory

Serbia stunned group favourites Germany with a 1-0 win after Miroslav Klose was sent off and Lukas Podolski missed a penalty on Friday to secure their first World Cup victory as an independent nation.

Milan Jovanovic grabbed the winner in the 38th minute with Germany in disarray moments after striker Klose was sent off for a foul that brought him a second yellow card in an ill-tempered Group D match at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

Germany should have equalised in the 61st when Nemanja Vidic needlessly handled in the area but goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic dived to his left to save Podolski's poor spot kick.
