Germany defeated Ukraine 2-0 to ensure their Euro 2016 campaign got off to a flying start on Sunday, when Shkodran Mustafi and Bastian Schweinsteiger provided the goals for manager Joachim Low's side.
The reigning world champions sizzled at times at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille, France, and rose to the top of Group C after becoming the first team at Euro 2016 to win a game by a margin of two goals.
Toni Kroos enjoyed a man-of-the-match-worthy performance in his Euro 2016 bow and ran the show from a deep-lying role in midfield, leaving the opposition chasing shadows for much of the match.
