A German team including Black and Yellows Sven Bender and Matthias Ginter will face Nigeria in the Olympics semi-final at 21:00 CET tonight. A win would guarantee the DFB XI a silver medal at the very least.

"This is an opportunity you only get once in a lifetime," emphasised Borussia Dortmund midfielder Sven Bender, adding: "We set out to achieve a lot at this tournament. We want to get settled in the Olympic village and then compete for the medals." (br)
