The first goal of the France team in this Euro 2021 was scored by a German.
Defender Mats Hummels opened the scoring on Tuesday night at the Allianz Arena following a magnificent opening from Paul Pogba.
We were playing in the 20th minute when the Mancunian midfielder, omnipresent since the start of this shock, lobbed the opposing defense with an outside right foot exquisite towards Lucas Hernandez.
Found at the far post, the right side of Bayern Munich then saw his direct cross blocked by the right foot of Mats Hummels.

This opening of the score came at a time when the debates were rather balanced.
