Germany are into the second round after last night's 1-0 win over Poland.
Oliver Neuville struck the winner for the hosts in the first minute of stoppage time to leave Poland pointless after two games.
The forward latched on to a low cross from fellow substitute David Odonkor to slide the ball past the despairing dive of Poland goalkeeper Artur Boruc.
The goal came a minute after Miroslav Klose and Michael Ballack had hit the bar within seconds of each other.
Poland's Radoslaw Sobolewski was sent off late on for two bookable offences.
The Germans created a hatful of chances, but failed to make the most of them and also found Boruc in sensational form.
German coach Jurgen Klinsmann hailed his super subs Neuville and Odonkor: "We wanted to bring more speed into the match and both substitutes are fast - they brought some life to the match."
Neuville added: "Clearly, I was a bit lucky but I think it was well earned."
It was Germany's first tournament win over European opposition since beating Czech Republic in the Euro 96 final, a victorious German team that included Klinsmann.
"These are very special moments, also for the coach," said Klinsmann.
"When everything comes together like this it's like a big burst, one feels the emotion of the players."
Odonkor added: "I can't even describe the feeling it's so incredible - I'm happy Olli scored and we won the game. I'm thrilled I got to play for half an hour. It's a great feeling."
Poland coach Pawel Janas admitted: "The goal right at the very end has ruined our chances and I feel awful.
"In the final minute we made mistakes by leaving the midfield empty and our defence had no chance."
Janas added: "Unfortunately, we still can't score goals.
"We didn't manage to see it through to the end. Basically this match most probably ends our World Cup adventure."
