Video: Germany vs Mexico 0-1 All Goals & Highlights WORLD CUP 17/06/2018 HD

Manuel Neuer was handed a first competitive start since September and would surely have been called into action inside the first minute had Jerome Boateng not superbly blocked Lozano's close-range effort.

Werner then fired a warning shot across the face of Guillermo Ochoa's goal during a breathless opening few minutes.

Any thoughts that Mexico would be overawed by Germany's assortment of superstars continued to be dispelled during a high-octane first half-hour, Hector Moreno heading straight at Neuer from their clearest opening.

Germany looked shell-shocked by Mexico's verve and vigour, eventually falling behind 10 minutes before the break.

Javier Hernandez's superb one-two with Andres Guardado allowed him to spin away from Mats Hummels just inside the Germany half and feed Lozano down the left.

The PSV forward then cut inside the wafer-thin resistance offered by the back-tracking Mesut Ozil to crash a shot inside Neuer's right post.
