translated from Spanish: Germany shook off the loss to France with a convincing win over Portugal at the European Championships

At the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany took the step forward it always takes in decisive moments. This Saturday, Joachim Low’s team started lower on the scoreboard – without deserving it – but did not lose patience to finish with the best feelings, a thrashing and with the ticket to the knockout stages, on the way. After five minutes and warned the German box with a goal by Robin Gosens, which was annulled for offside. The Atalanta player, the best of the match, did not tire of hurting Portugal, and led the attack of his own, who were better and dominated all facets of the game. Portugal woke up surprisingly with a goal in their favour. Those of Fernando Santos, subdued by the possession of their rival, found the first goal of the afternoon in a corner against. Cristiano Ronaldo cleared the ball and delivered to Diogo Jota, both traveled from area to area to finish off a counter-book. Juve’s did not fail unopened. A goal that killed neither the idea, nor the illusions of Germany.Joachim Low’s pupils did not wait until the second half to rearm and confirm their football because they barely needed four minutes to turn the electronic, both own goals. The 1-1, of Ruben Dias after a center of Kimmich, and the 1-2 in another play of Gosens that Guerreiro ended up introducing in his own goal. The scenario was unbeatable for the Germans, who let go of their mane in the second half with two goals in ten minutes to finally give up the game and dispatch any debate about the future of the ‘Mannschaft’ in this European Championship. Havertz got the third pass from Gosens, in the mouth of goal, and Gosens himself signed the fourth with an immaculate testarazo in the second stick assisted by Kimmich.The score made Germany lift their foot off the accelerator and Portugal did not reject the crumbs in a foul that Cristiano fought to assist Diego Jota. The roles of the first goal were exchanged and gave some life to the match. Much more would have happened if a shot from Renato Sanches hadn’t crashed into the post with ten minutes to go. Germany kept the lead without further a hitches and added their first three points at the expense of the reigning European champions, who are left with the debut win against Hungary. The ‘tugas’ will face France on the final day and the Germans will receive in Munich the Hungarian team with all the teams alive to be in the knockout stages.
