The present invention discloses a method for producing a punch-riveted connection between a first component and a second component. The first component (1) is provided with a flat cross-section (2) which is basically vertical to a joint surface (3) of the first component; the second component (4) is abutting tightly to the joint surface (3) of the first component at a side, which faces the flat cross-section (2), of the joint surface (3) in the area of the flat cross-section (2); a punch rivet (5) is formed at the second component (2) side along the flat cross-section (2), so as to enable the second component (4) to the first component (1), the flat cross-section (2) is used as a punch mould of the punch pivot. The present invention also provides a composite component that includes the first component and the second component.
