Fans at Hanover's 49,000-capacity HDI Arena quickly evacuated the stadium, said an AFP journalist at the scene.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel was set to attend the match in Hanover -- the world champion's first since their international in Paris on Friday night was interrupted by the blasts of suicide bombers outside the Stade de France.
