France beat Germany 2-0 in a game overshadowed by the attacks around the city.

Over 150 people were killed in a mass hostage-taking at a Paris concert hall Friday and many more were feared dead in a series of bombings and shootings on Friday, reports Xinhua.

The game was held in the Stade de France, where the explosions could be heard but the game was not halted.

Olivier Giroud and substitute Andre-Pierre Gignac scored a goal each for France.

The fans were allowed to leave the stadium more than 30 minutes after the game.
