Didier Deschamps' side also saw two goals ruled out for offside in the second half; a superb curling finish from Kylian Mbappe and a close-range strike from Benzema following a counter-attack.

Ultimately, though, Hummels' own goal proved sufficient for France, whose accomplished performance, featuring fine individual displays from Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kante, offered a reminder of why they are so heavily fancied to go the distance.

The victory places them level on points with Portugal in Group F following the holders' victory over Hungary earlier on Monday and leaves Germany with work to do in their remaining games to secure a place in the knockout stages. Man of the match: Paul Pogba. Germany, whose manager Low will be replaced by Hansi Flick after the tournament, started the game on the front foot as they sought to capitalise on their home advantage but it did not take long for France to move into the ascendency.

In fact, they should have already been in front by the time the opener arrived, with Pogba heading Antoine Griezmann's corner wastefully over the bar from six yards out. Moments later, Mbappe forced a diving save from Manuel Neuer having cut inside from France's left flank, where he was up against Joshua Kimmich, who walked a disciplinary tight rope all evening having been booked just seven minutes into the game.

France's opener arrived just a few minutes after those chances, with Pogba's exquisite diagonal pass opening the hosts up and allowing Hernandez to provide the decisive cross. Hummels had his head in his hands as he watched his sliced clearance fly past Neuer but Thomas Muller, recalled by Low along with the defender, had a chance to equalise almost immediately as he flicked a Gosens cross a few yards wide.

The game did not truly catch light in the remainder of the first half, with both sides guilty of sloppiness in possession, but there was a good opening for Ilkay Gundogan. The midfielder, potent in front of goal for Manchester City last season, looked well placed to equalise when Gnabry hooked a loose ball into his path inside the France box but he failed to make a proper connection and his effort bounced harmlessly wide.

Much of the half-time analysis focused on an incident involving Antonio Rudiger and Pogba, with replays showing the Chelsea defender appearing to bite the Manchester United midfielder on the shoulder. The incident was missed by the officials, perhaps fortunately for Germany, and the hosts were breathing another sigh of relief soon after half-time when Rabiot struck the outside of the post having elected to shoot rather than set up the unmarked Griezmann.

It seemed the game was opening up when Gnabry's opportunity from Gosens' cross arrived just a couple of minutes after that, but it soon became tight again. The only side to win the EUROs after losing their opening game of a tournament was the Netherlands back in EURO pic. Germany, who came into the tournament in poor form, struggled to create any further openings while France twice thought they had extended their lead - only for VAR to deny them.

The war is not outside that, but part of it. That said, the exhibition did not flourish in Leipzig: perhaps the old East Germany, with direct memories of the RAF bombing of Dresden and the cold war against the west, has rather less fondness for England or Britain.

That view casts Britons less as enemies than as liberators. For decades, Germans accepted that their affection was not wholly reciprocated, but they understood it. Post-referendum polls show Germany suddenly cooler than most European countries towards Britain and markedly less enthusiastic for us than we are for them.

Boris Johnson is seen as a nationalist, albeit of an eccentric hue, in a country that still fears the demons that nationalism can unleash. This article is more than 6 months old. Jonathan Freedland.
