Euro 2020: France Beat Germany 1-0 After Mats Hummels Scores Own Goal

Euro 2020: France beat Germany 1-0 to go second in Group F after Mats Hummels scored an own goal.

A Mats Hummels own goal was enough to hand France a 1-0 victory over Germany on Tuesday as the world champions made a winning start to their Euro 2020 campaign by dominating in Munich. Hummels turned the ball into his own net in the 20th minute, which ultimately decided the contest. France deserved the win, with both Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema having second-half goals ruled offside while Adrien Rabiot also hit the post for Les Bleus. The result leaves France second on goal difference in the early Group F table behind Portugal, after the holders' 3-0 win over Hungary earlier in Budapest. The home defeat piles the pressure on Germany ahead of their next game against Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal on Saturday, also at the Allianz Arena. German head coach Joachim Loew, who will stand down after the European Championship, is desperate to avoid a repeat of the 2018 World Cup when Die Mannschaft suffered the humiliation of finishing bottom of their group. It was a heartbreaking night for Hummels, back to boost the German defence after a two-year exile from international football.
