Germany coach Joachim Low was unhappy with the way the crowd turned on Manuel Neuer after his mistake against Kazakhstan.
The Bayern Munich custodian is firmly established as the German number one but he made a mistake just after the break which let the opposition get on the score sheet.

“What I do not like is the way that Manuel Neuer got whistled after his mistake,” he said.
“He belongs to the best keepers in the world and he made one mistake.
