Griezmann, France start Euro 2020 with narrow win over Germany

The most anticipated match in the first week of Euro 2020 was mostly a disappointment as France and Germany mostly denied each other for 90 minutes and the reigning World Cup winners came out with a narrow 1-0 victory.

Antoine Griezmann played all 90 minutes and was pretty quiet all night, while Ousmane Dembélé came on as a late substitute to waste a little time for France.

The game followed pretty much the same script for its entirety: Germany had close to 60% of the possession and tried to find spaces while France defended in a low block and looked to counter attack.
