Germany had to work hard to record a 2-0 win against Israel in a Euro 2012 warm-up match on Thursday with Mario Gomez and Andre Schürrle on target late in each half.
The three-times European champions, among the title favourites, dominated with a performance that was a marked improvement on their 5-3 defeat by Switzerland on Saturday.
However, they wasted close to a dozen clear chances on a rainy evening in Leipzig in their last friendly before this month's finals in Poland and Ukraine.
Germany face Portugal on 9 June in their first match in Group B which also includes Netherlands and Denmark.
"I am not unduly worried but I am not relaxed either. We have a lot of work next week," Germany's coach, Joachim Löw, said. "We still need to improve, that's clear. We need to be more aggressive. Clearly the game against Portugal will be played at a different pace."
