GERMANY STUN PORTUGAL, FRANCE HELD BY HUNGARY


Germany bounced back from their unimpressive starts in their Euro 2020 campaign with a 4-2 victory over defending champions Portugal. The Germans were more organized in the match at the Allianz Arena while Portugal struggled with chaotic moments in the defence.

Cristiano Ronaldo gave Portugal a perfect start in the 15th minute. It is his 12th goal from five Euro competitions. However the Portugal's defenders could not play the same level as their captain. Two own goals by Ruben Dias and Raphael Guerreiro put them behind at half time.

Kai Havertz scored Germany's third, just six minutes after the match resumed. Robin Gosens made it four in the 60th minute to send Germany further ahead. Diogo Jota pulled one back for Portugal, but the score remained until the final whistle.

In another Group F match, World Champions France were held to a 1-1 draw by Hungary. Hungary took the lead right before the break through Attila Fiola. However, Antoine Griezmann equalised for France in the 66th minute. France could not find the winner as Hungary displayed a stronger performance than their opening match.
