Griezmann cancelled out Toni Kroos' first half penalty and scored from the spot himself late in the game to kill off the visitors' hopes of reaching the semi-finals.

Germany, with several changes to the team that lost 3-0 away to the Netherlands last week, looked sharper but remain without a win after three matches in League A Group 1.

France top the standings with seven points from three games above the Netherlands on three from two and Germany with one. (Reporting by Karolos Grohmann; Editing by Ken Ferris)
