Germany winger Julian Draxler has said that he is pleased that his side's 3-0 win over the Faroe Islands has moved them to the brink of qualification for the 2014 World Cup.

Draxler said that it was a struggle for Germany to break down their opponents, but that the victory was well deserved.

"When they have ten men behind the ball, it's hard to find a breakthrough," Draxler told Bundesliga.com. "The win is a step in the right direction on the road to Brazil."

Draxler has been capped seven times by Germany and has scored one goal.
