Defending champions Germany have suffered a heavy defeat in their first game at the World Cup after losing 1-0 to Mexico in a thrilling Group F opener.

PSV Eindhoven winger, Hirving Lozano fired the impressive Mexicans into a deserved 35th-minute lead and despite intense second-half pressure Germany were unable to salvage an equalizer.

The Germans now face Sweden and South Korea and still have the chance to qualify to knockout stages. Joachim Loew's side are attempting to become the first country since Brazil in 1962 to retain their title.
