Hungary mounted little opposition to Germany as one of the pre-tournament favourites signed off on their Euro 2016 preparations with a win.

Germany eased to a routine 2-0 win over Hungary on Saturday in the world champions' final warm-up friendly before Euro 2016.

An Adam Lang own goal and Thomas Muller's second-half strike saw the hosts come out on top at Veltins-Arena, although Die Mannschaft struggled at times for fluency in Gelsenkirchen. 

Those moments were the pick of an early flurry of chances but they were followed by a lull unbroken until Low's men did finally take the lead six minutes before half-time.

Draxler slipped a throughball to Jonas Hector and the overlapping left-back, advancing into the penalty area, delivered a pass to the near post, where the ball was turned home by the leg of centre-back Lang, under pressure from a stretching Mario Gotze.  

Jerome Boateng's cross found the head of substitute Mario Gomez, who drew a save at full stretch from Gabor Kiraly, only for Muller to arrive and slam home the rebound.

Hungary wasted their best chance to pull one back barely a minute after the restart, Tamas Priskin sending an attempted lob over Neuer's goal shortly after his introduction from the bench.

Lukas Podolski, Andre Schurrle and Emre Can, the latter back from an ankle problem, were also given minutes by Low as the heavyweight side fine-tuned their preparations to depose holders Spain in France.
