Experienced defender Hummels was attempting to stop Lucas Hernandez's cross from reaching France forward Kylian Mbappe, but he could only divert the ball past Manuel Neuer into his own net in the 20th minute.

Both teams had chances to score; Ilkay Gundogan wasted Germany's best opportunity of the first half when he couldn't direct his shot on target.

France twice put the ball in the net in the second half but both were called back for offside; Mbappe sent a curling shot inside the far post midway through the half but was flagged off, and was maginally off again when heturned provider for Karim Benzema late on.

Germany had never previously lost an opening game in the group stage at the European Championship.
