Germany vs Mexico: Who won the World Cup match yesterday? Result from the Luzhniki Stadium
Joachim Low's Germany began their world title defence with a tough clash against Mexico in Moscow
WORLD champions Germany began their title defence against Mexico at the Luzhniki Stadium.
Joachim Low's side are among one of the favourites to lift the trophy on July 15 but must first negotiate their way out of Group F.
Who won Germany vs Mexico?
HIRVING LOZANO was the hero as Mexico recorded a stunning 1-0 triumph over world champions Germany.
Mexico were absolutely fantastic in the first-half, leaving three men high up the pitch and surprising the German centre-backs on the break.
And the gamble paid off, as a swift counter-attack ended with Lozano lashing in at the near-post past Manuel Neuer.
The Mexicans had a terrific chance to make it two after the break, but Javier Hernandez's cross-field pass was inches away from playing Miguel Layun clear.
Germany peppered the Mexico goal as the half wore on, with Toni Kroos, Marco Reus and Timo Werner all guilty of missing chances.
But Mexico weren't to be denied and clung on after a frantic finale to register one of the biggest shocks in recent World Cup history.
