Mexico vs. Germany: Score and Reaction from 2016 Olympic Men's Soccer

Matthias Ginter salvaged a point for Germany, which opened group-stage play at the Summer Olympics with a 2-2 draw against Mexico on Thursday in Salvador, Brazil.

Ginter headed home a Julian Brandt corner kick in the 78th minute to cancel out Rodolfo Pizarro's go-ahead goal.

Ginter's goal was the second time on the night that Germany had come from behind after Oribe Peralta's opener in the 52nd minute.
