Griezmann scores twice for France

-

Antoine Griezmann got the better of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer once again, scoring both goals as France rallied to beat Germany 2-1 in Paris in the UEFA Nations League.

Midfielder Toni Kroos gave Germany the lead from the penalty spot after 14 minutes. Griezmann equalized with a superb header in the 62nd.

With 10 minutes left, Griezmann put France ahead with a penalty for his 26th internatio­nal goal. He sent Neuer the wrong way, having also done so in the European Championsh­ip semifinals two years ago — when Griezmann also scored twice. Josh Sargent scored early in the second half and three more Americans made their debuts under interim coach Dave Sarachan before a young U.S. team conceded an 86th-minute goal to Enrico Flores in a 1-1 exhibition tie against Peru in East Hartford, Conn.
