Werner shines as nervy Germany end winless streak

The second goal came just before the half-time whistle when Werner's cross for Thomas Mueller was tapped into his own net by Hawsawi.

Germany head coach Joachim Loew made two changes for the second half with Ter Stegen replacing captain Manuel Neuer in goal and Niklas Suele coming on for defender Jerome Boateng.

Ilkay Gundogan replaced Reus for the final 30 minutes and was booed by Germany fans, despite going close on 61 minutes.

The Manchester City midfielder caused a political storm last month along with Mesut Ozil by meeting Turkey president Recep Tayyip Erdogan and handing over a signed shirt to "my president".

With 15 minutes left, Leverkusen winger Julian Brandt nearly made it 3-0 when he fired wide before the visitors gave the Germans a nervous final 10 minutes.

Germany face Mexico in their opening World Cup match in Moscow on June 17, also facing Sweden in Sochi and South Korea in Kazan in Group F.

Saudi, coached by ex-Chile boss Juan Antonio Pizzi, also play Uruguay and Egypt in Group A.
