Munich : Germany defeated Scotland 5-1 in Euro Cup 2024 opener at Allianz Arena, Munich.
Goals from Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala had Germany firmly in control after less than 20 minutes, and the duo also became their team’s two youngest goal-scorers in Euro history.
The first half ended in the worst possible way for Scotland when defender Ryan Porteous was sent off and Kai Havertz converted the resulting spot kick.
Substitute Niclas Fllkrug came off the bench to score Germany’s fourth in the 68th, and Emre Can netted in stoppage time as the hosts recorded the largest margin of victory in a European Championship opener.
Scotland, hadn’t had a shot on goal all match, managed to give fans something to cheer about moments earlier when the ball was bundled into the back of the net off Germany defender Antonio Rdiger for an own goal.
Germany will face Hungary on 19 June & Scotland will play Switzerland on June 20 , in their respective encounters.
