ST GALLEN, SWITZERLAND (AFP) - Germany laboured to a 2-0 win over minnows Liechtenstein in World Cup qualifying on Thursday (Sept 2) as Hansi Flick made a low-key debut at the helm.

Chelsea striker Timo Werner broke the deadlock just before half-time in St Gallen before Leroy Sane doubled the lead late in a frustrating second half for Flick's side.
