Germany vs Scotland’s Euro 2024 opening match (Group stage – Group A Matchday 1 of 3) started the with full attacking forces.

Euro 2024 started in the perfect fashion for the host nation as Germany secured a dominant 5-1 win over a Scotland side who played the entire second half with ten men.

Germany made a lightning start in Munich as they dominated possession, and it took just ten minutes to find the opener as Florian Wirtz fired in off the post to score the first goal of the tournament.

There was little let-up from the hosts, who just under ten minutes later had their second as Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala, who troubled Scotland all night, smashed the ball past Angus Gunn.

The three-time winners of this competition continued to lord matters over Scotland, whose dismal first half was compounded just before the break as a last-ditch, two-footed Ryan Porteous challenge resulted in both a penalty and red card. Kai Havertz dispatched the penalty, giving the hosts a three-goal advantage at half-time.

The second-half was a largely similar affair as Germany continued to press on, keeping Scotland camped on the edge of their 18-yard box.

Niclas Fullkrug came on to add a fourth for Germany before an Antonio Rudiger own goal gave the Tartan Army something to celebrate.

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Emre Can, however, added a fifth with almost the last kick of the game to put the icing on the cake for Germany as they secured the biggest win in any opening European Championship game.

TALKING POINT – ARE GERMANY GENUINE CONTENDERS?

You can never truly rule the Germans out of an international tournament but given their chaotic 2023 and performances at the previous two finals hope was low for Nagelsmann side. Yet they played with a swagger and confidence that only potential winners could. 5-1 did not flatter the hosts and no doubt many will be sitting up and taking notice of Germany if they were not already.

Player of the Match – Jamal Musiala (GERMANY)

A fantastic performance from the twenty-one-year-old who produced magic from the first whistle. The Scottish defence couldn’t handle his movement with and without the ball. He scored Germany’s second, was heavily involved in the third and if not for a yard would’ve won a penalty for the hosts.

The Bayern Munich man showed why he is one of the players to fear this tournament.
