The match began in lively fashion, with Germany dominating early exchanges. Mike Maignan had to react sharply in just the second minute to deny Nick Woltemade, and moments later, Lucas Digne cleared a Niclas F\u00fcllkrug effort off the line. Florian Wirtz came closest to breaking the deadlock, striking the post with a clever effort in the 37th minute.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite Germany's early pressure, it was France who drew first blood just before half-time. Mbapp\u00e9 picked up the ball on the left, cut inside, and curled a stunning shot past Marc-Andr\u00e9 ter Stegen to reach his 50th goal for Les Bleus. The strike places him one behind Thierry Henry in the country\u2019s all-time scoring charts and seven behind Olivier Giroud who leads the tally.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The second half remained finely poised. Marcus Thuram nearly extended the lead with a curling effort that struck the woodwork on 59 minutes, while Germany struggled to replicate their first-half rhythm. Mbapp\u00e9 continued to torment the German backline and was denied a second by a magnificent Ter Stegen save from a volley in the 79th minute.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
