FINAL WHISTLE
: The German U21 national team celebrates an important 3-0 opening win against hosts Hungary.
The Kuntz-Elf struggled for a long time against defensively well-stocked Magyars, then after the break the knot burst.
The outstanding man was Ridle Baku, who was the only one to have played for the senior national team.
The Wolfsburg gave the template for the relieving opening goal from Lukas Nmecha and made everything clear with a double pack.
