GERMANY MAY HAVE braced themselves for a tough test this afternoon against Portugal in their World Cup opener but it was a straightforward clash.
Pepe’s moment of madness in the first-half saw Portugal reduced to ten men and Germany piled on the agony by banging in three goals before the interval.
Thomas Müller set the ball rolling for Germany by finding the net from the penalty spot in the 11th minute.

Then Mats Hummels came up from the back to thump home a header for Germany’s second goal in the 32nd minute.
On the stroke of half-time, Müller smashed home Germany’s third goal of the day.
