World Cup 2018: Mexico’s Hirving Lozano stuns world champions Germany for brilliant win

Germany’s defence of the World Cup got off to the worst possible start, as they came up short against an initially vibrant but increasingly desperate Mexico but for whom Hirving Lozano’s goal after 35 minutes was enough.

Joachim Löw had started with seven players who had guided Germany to victory in Brazil four years ago but that looked more and more like a hopeful reliance on experience. Instead all Löw got was tired performances from Sami Khedira – who was taken off in the second half – Toni Kroos and Thomas Müller, three of his most important players.

This may not be as disastrous as it looks if they want to take some relief from the history books. The last time Germany lost the opening match at a World Cup was 1982 – against Algeria – but that year they still reached the final.

Mexico had slowly taken charge of the first half with their breaks through midfield becoming increasingly dangerous and finally they profited when Lozano – Mexico’s brightest prospect for a long time – found himself inside the area and with enough time to guide his shot inside Manuel Neuer’s near post.

The expected response from Germany was immediate but not quite good enough as Kroos’s free-kick three minutes later was touched on to the crossbar by Guillermo Ochoa. In the second half Josh Kimmich tried an overhead kick but that looped over the bar and by the end the reddened, exhaused face of Mesut Özil perhaps told the story, leaving Mexico to enjoy their evening in Moscow.
