The Germans opened the three previous major competitions with defeats, they had to wait for the championship on their territory so that the group stage could finally pass without panic and stress.
Julian Nagelsman's team beat Hungary 2:0 and after the initial triumph over Scotland (5:1) became the first national team to qualify for the knockout phase of the European Championship.
The dilemma from which Elf is taking positions remains - the answer will be given by the match of the last round of Group A, against Switzerland.
In Stuttgart, the city of Mercedes, the Germans passed the Hungarians just like Mercedes - not even the slightest dilemma about the final outcome was raised since Musiala started the rival in the 22nd minute, regardless of the fact that the "light cavalry" played a much better match than in the opening match against of Switzerland (3:1).
The Germans weren't as scrappy and efficient as they were against Scotland, either, but this is a win - and the way it came, befitting a second-round group stage.
Hungary remained at zero after two matches, with a goal difference of -4, Marco Rossi's team, after excellent qualifications, now needs a theory to advance to the round of XNUMX.
It's a convincing win against Scotland in the last round, and the question is whether it would be enough.
The Germans dominated the field from the start, Nagelsman fielded the same starting team as against Scotland, and the result arrived in the 22nd minute.
Hungarian stopper Orban called for a foul, referee Makeli did not announce, Gundogan played a return ball to Musiala who made no mistake.
Hungary were only occasionally dangerous, in the last minute of the first half Salai rattled the net, but the assistant was right to raise the flag - the offside was obvious.
Varga had a chance for the Hungarians at the beginning of the second half, everything else was in the hands of the Germans, who held the ball, dictated the rhythm of the match, controlled the result and, it seems, kept their strength.
The second goal came after a nice action, the Stuttgart defender Mittelstadt played a return ball for Gundogan in "his" stadium, who was accurate with his left foot.
The Germans were able to score a third goal, in the finish corridors opened up in the Hungarian half, but they are quite satisfied with this 2:0.
