Germany 1-0 Portugal

                                             Mario Gomez's late header ensured Germany made a winning start to Euro 2012 after Portugal had threatened to frustrate Joachim Loew's side in Lviv.
                                            Germany dominated possession but struggled to carve out clear cut chances before Gomez broke the deadlock after Sami Khedira's cross. Portugal were disappointing and only came to life after Germany scored. Pepe hit the bar with a rare first-half chance while Nani was also denied by the woodwork late on.

                                                     Gomez was given a go by the coach ahead of the free scoring Close who celebrates his 34th B'day today. And he did rise to the managers expectation at the right time. He was about to be replaced at 72th minute , then he connected a perfect world class header of Khaira's cross.
     
                                          Portugal too had their chances , at the end of first half , Pepe hit the woodwork from a corner kick , but the ball hasn't crossed the line. Then after Gomez's goal , Portugal went on a late surge. With Ronaldo , Contrao and Nani combining together. They did produce few golden chances which dint find the back of the net , thanks to brilliant goal keeping by manuel Neur .
