GERMANY made European Championship history on Saturday thanks to Ruben Dias’ own goal.
Joachim Low’s side lost their Euro 2020 opener 1-0 against France after Mats Hummels’ own goal gifted their Group F rivals all three points.
And they got off to a horror start after Cristiano Ronaldo gave Portugal the lead after just 15 minutes of their second group game following a blistering counter-attack.
Germany pressed up the other end and were eventually rewarded after Manchester City star Dias poked the ball home past his own goalkeeper.
The goal meant the Germans became the first team in Euros history to both score an own goal AND benefit from one up the other end.
And in a truly bizarre tournament – which has now seen FIVE own goals already – Raphael Guerreiro then stabbed home another own goal to gift Germany the lead shortly before half-time.
Playing in front of a home crowd in Munich, Germany went on to smash Portugal, Robin Gosens and Kai Havertz scoring in a brilliant 4-2 win.
Earlier, German veteran Hummels hilariously revealed his three-year-old son CELEBRATED his own goal against France.
The Borussia Dortmund defender, 32, nudged the ball beyond Manuel Neuer to give the reigning world champions the lead.
The defender’s mistake left German fans devastated – but his own son seemed to enjoy it.

Speaking to Bild, Hummels said: “Thankfully, he doesn’t know yet what an own goal is.
“He thinks the ball in the net is always right.
“I was told that he was celebrating. I’ll probably have to teach him that.”
