World champions France started their Euro 2020 campaign with a 1-0 win over Germany thanks to a Mats Hummels' own goal in the first half.
Hummels diverted Lucas Hernandez's cross into his own net in the 20th minute in what was a fascinating Group F contest in Munich.
Man of the match Paul Pogba sent the ball over the bar from a corner with his shoulder, Kylian Mbappe had an angled shot saved, he and Karim Benzema had goals ruled out for offside and Adrian Rabiot hit the outside of the post.
Thomas Muller had a chance to restore parity but he headed wide, with Ilkay Gundogan slicing an effort past the post from a good position in the box and Serge Gnabry seeing a shot deflected onto the roof of the net.
France's win means they and Portugal, who beat Hungary 3-0 in Budapest earlier on Tuesday, take the early initiative in a highly competitive Group F.
In the earlier fixture Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice with Rafael Guerrero scoring the other as Hungary collapsed in the last six minutes of the game to lose 3-0 to the current European champions.
In what looked like a certain draw, Raphael Guerreiro's shot with the outside of the foot took a massive deflection off defender Willi Orban to break Hungary's brave resistance in the 84th minute.
Ronaldo then converted an 87th-minute penalty for his 10th goal in the competition, overtaking France's Michel Platini on nine goals.
His 11th came only a few minutes later when he took the ball around goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi for Portugal's third.
