Overview

• Mbappé curled a shot beyond Marc-André ter Stegen just before halftime to record his 50th international goal and give France the lead.
• Substitute Michael Olise tapped in from close range in the 84th minute after Mbappé intercepted a loose German pass and delivered the assist.
• Germany controlled possession and crafted several high-quality openings, including a disallowed Deniz Undav goal and a Florian Wirtz effort off the post, but failed to score.
• Deschamps made eight changes from the Spain semifinal lineup, retaining only Mbappé, goalkeeper Mike Maignan and midfielder Adrien Rabiot in the starting eleven.
• The defeat marked Germany’s second straight loss under Julian Nagelsmann, intensifying scrutiny over their finishing inefficiency despite early dominance.
