Hummels scored the only goal of the game when he flicked on Toni Kroos’ cross from just beyond the penalty spot, past the despairing dive of Hugo Lloris.
Germany had started the game with a much-changed formation. Miroslav Klose started up front, supported by Thomas Mueller, Sami Khedira anchored the midfield, and Philip Lahm moved back to the right-back position.
France went close with a Mathieu Valbuena volley and Karim Benzema shot, but Manuel Neuer was flustered by neither.
The second half was depressingly dour. Didier Deschamps was so reticent to make a change that he did not make a substitution until the 72nd minute, and then only to replace Mamadou Sakho for Laurent Koscielny. Moments later, Loic Remy, was introduced, but it demonstrated the lack of nous from the side as a whole.
It
wasn’t enough, and France appeared only mildly concerned about looking
for a goal. Their lethargic performance ensured an easy victory for
Germany.
