Despite a series of friendly losses going in to the tournament the world champions proved they will be a difficult prospect in France as they saw off Ukraine’s challenge
Shkodran Mustafi’s first international goal set Germany on the right path as the World Cup holders opened Euro 2016 with a 2-0 win over Ukraine.
The ex-Everton defender headed home a sumptuous cross from Toni Kroos after 19 minutes to open the scoring for Joachim Low’s men, and settling nerves after a difficult build-up to the tournament.
In the final seconds Bastian Schweinsteiger latched on to a pinpoint Mesut Ozil pass to put the result beyond doubt in Lille.
