German defender Mats Hummels scores own-goal to give France 1-0 win over Germany at Euro 2020

French players celebrate as Germany's defender Mats Hummels reacts after deflecting the ball into his own net during the UEFA EURO 2020 Group F football match between France and Germany.Mats Hummels’s return to the national team went better for France than it did for Germany.

“I can’t fault him,” Loew said. “It’s just bad luck. The ball in was fast. Maybe we should have attacked the throw in quicker. But it was hard for Mats to clear the ball.” Mbappé also had a penalty appeal waved off in between the offside goals — Hummels had timed his tackle perfectly when the 22-year-old Frenchman would have been through on goal.Germany had never previously lost an opening game in the group stage at the European Championship.

Loew, who is stepping down after the tournament, sent on forwards Leroy Sané and Timo Werner late in the match, and then Kevin Volland as a last resort, but none could make a difference.

France bested Germany thanks to an own goal from Mats Hummels, and a staunch defence that bent but didn't break in the second half under a heavy press from the German attack. They say France will win the euro. But I don't think so . Not very happy with this outcome. 👎
