Germany humiliated the Republic of Ireland 6-1 on a disastrous night for the hosts in their World Cup Group C qualifier at the Aviva Stadium.
Borussia Dortmund winger Marco Reus scored twice in the first half to set Germany on their way.
Ireland were left chasing shadows as the visitors eased to victory with further goals from Mesut Ozil (penalty) and Miroslav Klose, as well as a brace by substitute Toni Kroos. Andy Keogh headed in fellow sub Robbie Brady's corner for a consolation in injury-time.
