| Harry Kane Celebrating after Scoring England's Second Goal Against Germany |
England 2 - 0 Germany | EURO 2020 Highlights |
England matched Germany's 3-5-2 formation and the sides cancelled each other out for much of the first half.
The Three Lions had the first efforts of note with Raheem Sterling testing Manuel Neuer from distance and Harry Maguire heading Kieran Trippier's cross wide.
The Mannschaft prised the best opening of the first 45 minutes, though, only for Jordan Pickford to thwart Timo Werner.
The England No1's agility came to the fore with a fine tip over from Kai Havertz after the break and Gareth Southgate's side took advantage with 15 minutes to play,
Sterling tapping in after Harry Kane and Jack Grealish had worked Luke Shaw into a crossing position down the left.
Thomas Müller dragged wide when one on one against Pickford and that miss was magnified when Kane stooped to head home Grealish's cross and condemn Joachim Löw to defeat in his final game at the Germany helm.
