Germany’s defender Mats Hummels (L) deflects the ball to score an own goal as France take a 1-0 lead

 

France are starting to show their class. Mbappe zips infield from the left, beats Ginter with ease and smashes a shot towards the far corner. Neuer gets down smartly to his left to punch it round the post.

Chance for Pogba! Griezmann flashes an inswinging corner towards the six-yard line, where Pogba gets in front of Rudiger but then mistimes his header and shoulders the ball over the bar. That looked an excellent chance.

After a sluggish start France look relaxed and confident. And now...

Pogba opened Germany up with a flipped crossfield pass to Hernandez on the left side of the area. He hammered the bouncing ball across the face of goal towards Mbappe, six yards out. 

Hummels got in front of Mbappe but couldn’t adjust his feet quickly enough and shinned it into the roof of his own net.
