One explanation might be that Germany did not need all three points and were therefore not firing psychologically on all cylinders.

Low was caught on camera during Germany’s opening Euro 2016 win against Ukraine putting his hand down the front of his pants before raising it to his nose.
“But we will talk with the doctors after practice and see”.
“It would be nice to score a goal, ” Lewandowski said.
Nawalka said his players were not happy just to have drawn with the 2014 World Cup victor.
By the time Gomez, Besiktas’ top scorer in the Turkish league with 26 goals last season, came on as a 72nd-minute substitute, Germany had run out of ideas. He is a world champion, he’s won the Champions League.
“Now we have to win the last group game and go through as the first-placed team”, Kroos said.
“It happened and I am sorry”, said the World Cup-winning coach on the eve of Germany’s Group C meeting with Poland in Paris on Thursday.
“He’s taking a lot of attention from the defenders and, because of that, other players get chances, ” Poland coach Adam Nawalka said, praising Lewandowski’s unselfish attitude.
“In the attack today, we could not create too many chances, the whole of our game in the last third wasn’t fast enough”, said Loew (above).
In a game of few chances, Poland’s star striker Robert Lewandowski was well-marshalled by Bayern Munich teammates Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng – with Boateng being named the Man of the Match for his outstanding display. “I think we will then play in Lille for our round of 16”.
“He has trained twice with the team, but for me it is very important to see the final training tonight”, added Loew.
While Germany’s defensive operation will no doubt boost confidence going into their final group game against Northern Ireland next week, they struggled in attack with neither Mario Goetze nor Mario Gomez able to land a knockout blow.
