Musiala scored in the 22nd minute with a shot inside the area following a short pass from Gündogan. The assist came after Gündogan had won a duel against Hungarian central defender Willy Orban, despite objections from the Hungarian side for a foul that the referee waved off.

This win cements Germany’s strong position in the tournament as they continue to demonstrate their skillset and determination. EFE
