In an exciting start to the UEFA Euro 2024, Germany dismantled Scotland in front of their home supporters in the opening match of Group A, giving everyone a glimpse of what they are capable of. New Delhi: In an action-packed opening encounter of the UEFA Euro 2024, hosts Germany overcame a down-and-out Scotland, by five goals to one. The home crowd was out in numbers to support their nation and there was a sense of positivity in the atmosphere, as the German side had something to cheer about, something that was last seen at UEFA Euro 2016.
Die Mannschaft started the game on the front foot and it wasn’t long before they tested the Scottish keeper and set the tone for the rest of the game. Julien Nagelsmann’s men were outclassing the opposition and the deadly duo of Wirtz and Musiala were tearing the opposition apart just as we had predicted. The hosts of UEFA Euro 2024 were put in front thanks to a crisp strike from wonderkid, Florian Wirtz, in the 10th minute before Jamal Musiala added another nine minutes later to put the game away from the Scots.
T hings went from bad to worse for Scotland just before halftime as Ryan Porteous was sent off for a dangerous challenge on Ilkay Gundogan in the box and the resulting penalty was put away by Kai Havertz to put the hosts firmly in control. Germany didn’t take their foot off the pedal even after being 3-0 up as they never let the Scots settle and were toying with the defenders deep into the second half. Shortly after coming on.
