France 1-0 Germany
France came out on top against Germany with a 1-0 victory in a Euro 2020 Group F heavyweight clash in Munich on Tuesday.
France were showing more of the attacking threat in the opening exchanges and in the 16th minute, Paul Pogba should have at least got his header on target from Antoine Griezmann's corner.
Four minutes later, Le Bleus took the lead. Pogba picked out Lucas Hernandez down the left with a pinpoint diagonal and the Bayern Munich left-back volleyed the ball into the centre of the box with German centre-back Mats Hummels not able to adjust himself in time, shinning the ball into his own net.
The Mannschaft almost levelled matters immediately when Thomas Muller headed wide from Robin Gosens' delivery, before Gosens delivered once again into the box and Serge Gnabry laid it off to Ilkay Gundogan whose first-time effort went wide of the post just before the break.
The first opportunity of the second half was created by the visitors. Kylian Mbappe played a through-ball down the inside left-channel to release Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who should have squared for Griezmann, but decided to go it alone and hit the upright.
Germany then missed a decent chance of their own. Gosens sent in another terrific cross to pick out Gnabry at the far post and the Bayern attacker's effort went into the ground before bouncing up and agonisingly over the crossbar.
Joachim Loew's side were piling on the pressure but France were looking threatening on the break and had goals disallowed from Mbappe and Karim Benzema due to marginal offsides.
Germany were much improved in the second half and playing with an impressive intensity but Didier Deschamps' side managed to soak up the pressure and close out a hard-fought and narrow victory.
Hungary 0-3 Portugal
Portugal began their European Championship title defence with a 3-0 win over Hungary on Tuesday night.
Bortugal broke quickly and Diogo Jota shrugged off Attila Szalai before swivelling and striking low with Peter Gulacsi making a good save and palming it away to safety.
Ten minutes later, Pepe found Ronaldo with an excellent ball over the top and the Juventus star attempted to chip the ball over an onrushing Gulacsi, who did well to make the save shortly before the offside flag went up.
Ronaldo was guilty of missing an absolute sitter just before half-time. Jota's cross from the right found its way to an unmarked Ronaldo at the back post, who unmarked, but he somehow skied his effort over the bar from close-range.
The Selecao eventually found the breakthrough six minutes from time with a slice of luck. Rafa Silva delivered a low cross from the right-hand that fell straight to Raphael Guerreiro, whose shot took a big deflection off Willi Orban before wrong-footing Gulacsi.
And the lead was doubled just a few minutes afterwards. Orban pulled back Rafa Silva with Ronaldo making no mistake with the spot-kick as he sent Gulacsi the wrong way to become the tournament's all-time leading scorer.
Ronaldo Breaks Two Euro Records!
And the four-time Ballon d'Or winner put the game beyond bed in stoppage time to score his 106th international goal and 11 in Euros history after rounding the goalkeepeer to fire into an empty net.
