France beat Germany 2-0 in a game overshadowed by terror attacks in Paris.

The game was held in the Stade de France where two big bangs were heard in the first half outside. But the game was not halted.

President Francois Hollande was among those in the stadium but was quickly taken out by security forces.

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

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

More than 150 people were killed as terrorists unleashed mayhem in a string of attacks in Paris on Friday evening. Another 200 people were injured, some 80 of them critically.
