Australia 2-3 Germany

Germany have yet to win the Confederations Cup

World champions Germany beat Australia in Sochi to get their first Confederations Cup campaign since 2005 off to a winning start.

The Socceroos were 3-1 down when Tomi Juric's goal was allowed to stand despite a suspected handball after a review by the video assistant referee.

Lars Stindl had put Germany ahead before Celtic's Tom Rogic equalised.

Julian Draxler's penalty made it 2-1 after Leon Goretzka was fouled before Goretzka got the third.
