Incredibly, this is the first time that Germany has won their opening two games of an European Championship for the first time since 2012 when they made it to the semi-finals.
This is the fourth time they’ve done it. The others are 1988 (finished champions) 1996 (finished champions) and 2012 (semi-finalists).
In short, it is a positive sign for them.
Germany’s shining spots

Szoboslzai is penalized for taking the ball off after an obvious mistake. The incident sums up his day.
Unsettled stuff from the Germans believed — or a lot of fun I’m guessing. Great shape, lots of options, top players and Musiala creating magic. Annoying, aren’t they? !
Third or burst of Hungary

Two defeats in two games to Hungary Hungary, they are definitely not within the top 2 spots of Group A.
If they do make the knockout stages, they is likely to be in third. Then it could be all the way to a final group match against Scotland.
Unstable from Max and near for Orban
90′ Germany 2-0 Hungary
A bit ragged of Germany for a short time.
Max Mittelstadtpicks up an incredibly insignificant booking, which makes it a four-for Germany to date in this tournament.
Neuer then fails to grasp the ball in the box. The ball bounces off, But Orban’s shot is blocked by the line.
Three minutes more to go…
One chance, but not definite
87′ Germany 2-0 Hungary
Varga’s game is over. He’s allowed to rest during the final moments and the only way the only way to go is to replay his chance to win.
I must say that even if this is the case, I’d put my money on Germany having another goal.
They’ve been a great team again today.
It’s Stuttgart time!
83′ Germany 2-0 Hungary
The second goal scored by Germany appears to have ended the game as a match. Hungary haven’t seen a single shot since the Vargas header, which was scored 20 minutes ago.
Szoboszlai was thrown out more often this time than the number of passes he’s completed.
Nagelsmann has also been playing for the crowd. The three Stuttgart players are currently in the stadium including Brighton’s loan forward Deniz Undav.
One certainty, one possibility surprise

83′ Germany 2-0 Hungary
The other side isn’t surprising. Germany haven’t lost a single game in the past 12 European Championship games when they’ve scored first, which is what they did in this game.
A bigger surprise is Hungary having no scoring. Their last time they were without a goal was 12 games back.
Gulacsi is called to the action, twice

Sane and Kimmich join forces in the box. Fullkrug allows the defender behind and launches a low shot which Gulacsi smothers.
The keeper must repeat the trick a few seconds later, following a low Sane drive.
Germany is under total control.
Clean and neat

71′ Germany 2-0 Hungary
Neat From Germany to score after 22 minutes of each half. One of their greatest advantages is the variety of their positions are in cutbacks and crosses, being able to have players in different lines, giving various finishing options, making them more difficult to spot.
Mittelstadt nails it
68′ Germany 2-0 Hungary
Great work by Mittelstadt There. I didn’t doubt his abilities when I was pondering prior to kick-off whether he could be imaginative enough if a team from the opposition could have a chance to stop Germany in the middle and ensure that the left-back got a lot of ball. However, Mittelstadt certainly performed well in that regard.
Gundogan transforms it
68′ Germany 2-0 Hungary
A great moment A great moment Ilkay Gundogan who has taken lots of criticism — and in particular for his inability to create to this kind of moment.
In reality, Gundogan has recently been accused of obstruction in the No.10 position. In the present, he’s practically made sure Germany an appearance in knockout stages.
A captain’s goal, as it was getting a bit nervous in Stuttgart and with Hungary performing well.
