The defense of the World Champions title started unsuccessfully for the Germans.
Joachim Low's players lost 0:1 to the Mexican national team and ended a great series with a bad result.
Before these matches in the World Championships, the Germans had not trailed for 563 minutes in a row.
The last time this happened was in the 2014 championship when they conceded a goal against Ghana.
That match against the Africans ended 2:2.
By the way, 20 years ago in the championship held in France, the Germans also conceded the first goal against the Mexicans, but then managed to expand the victory 2:1.
