Toni Kroos rued an "unfortunate" own goal for Mats Hummels in Germany`s defeat by France in their opening Euro 2020 match on Tuesday which increases the pressure on Joachim Loew`s men. Hummels put through his own net in the first half to give France a 1-0 win at the Allianz Arena to start their Group F campaign.
France carried a greater threat going forward but could only score once, with Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema, back from international exile, both seeing second-half goals disallowed while Adrien Rabiot hit the post. Germany had few clear chances, with Serge Gnabry going closest when he fired over the bar in the second half. "We had our chances, no fewer than the French had, but the match was decided by an unfortunate goal," Kroos told broadcaster ARD.
