Germany became the first team to qualify to the last 16 of the 2024 European Championship after seeing off Hungary 2-0 on Wednesday evening.
Die Mannschaft showed no changes from the opening day dominance over Scotland, with Hungary sacrificing Attila Szalai and Adam Lang for Marton Dardai and Bendegzu Bolla.
Hungary, who started the tournament with a defeat to Switzerland on Saturday, provided a scare straight from kick-off through Roland Sallai but Manuel Neuer made a decisive touch to smother.
The host nation regained ground in the midway point when a scramble amidst forceful play from Ilkay Gundogan led to a pullback which Jamal Musiala retrieved to finish off the underside of the bar.
As anticipated, Hungary attempted an immediate response and came close through a pin-point free-kick by Dominik Szoboszlai but Neuer palmed and recovered to thwart the follow-up.
Musiala was menacing through the smart footwork and off-the-ball runs as the interval loomed and flashed the side-netting courtesy of a snap shot on the edge of the area.
Hungary seemed to have gone on even terms on the stroke of halftime after Sallai nodded in at the back-post following a free-kick, but the offside flag went up and overruled the effort.
Die Mannschaft were keen to double the lead a minute past the break and were close when a first-time shot from Toni Kroos forced Peter Gulacsi to stretch to the near post and parry.
Tricolours targeted a response soon past the interval and witnessed a towering header from Barnabas Varga shaved narrowly over the top corner after meeting a delivery.
The host nation ultimately added another in the closing stages when Maximilian Mittelstadt made an overlapping run on the left to cross for Gundogan to tap in.
Germany then shuffled up the stall where Musiala made way for Chris Fuhrich and Robert Andrich sat out to see Emre Can come on the park.
In a lively closing, Hungary were denied a consolation when Joshua Kimmich rushed to the goal-line and produced a superb clearance.
Die Mannschaft, though, ensured the victory as the final whistle went and secured passage to the last 16 while Hungary have been eliminated.
