Germany national team, the host team, kept 3 points in the first match after beating Scotland national team, scoring 5-1 in the UEFA EURO 2024 Group stage, Group A at Fußball Arena, Munich.
Earlier, the opening goal of Euro 2024 this time belonged to Florian Wirtz, who only needed 10 minutes to score the first goal of the match.
Nine minutes later, the hosts, who dominated almost the entire first 45 minutes, became more comfortable, and this time, it was Jamal Musiala’s turn to score.
Scotland did not give up, but in the 44th minute, the situation became more difficult when its defender, Ryan Porteous was shown a red card for fouling Ilkay Gundogan in the penalty box and the opportunity was calmly completed by Kai Havertz.
Despite remaining with the will to show off the revival, the gap in quality is clearly not in favour of Scotland, who continue to be forced to focus on defensive tasks.
Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann’s decision to bring on Niclas Fullkrug for Havertz in the 63rd minute proved to be a gamble that paid off when the 31-year-old striker needed just five minutes to add a fourth goal.
In the 87th minute, Scotland finally got a consolation goal through Antonio Rüdiger’s own goal, but Germany continued to be fierce to produce the fifth goal thanks to Emre Can’s shot.
The remaining time had no additional score, ending Germany winning 5-1.
