Euro 2024 Day 1 Review: Germany Dominates Scotland 5-1

Posted : 15 June 2024

Euro 2024 kicked off spectacularly for host nation Germany, who triumphed with a resounding 5-1 victory over Scotland in Munich on Friday. The game, held at the Allianz Arena, saw Germany secure their biggest-ever win in European Championship history, with the match effectively decided by halftime.

 

The 75,000-strong crowd witnessed a dominant German performance. Florian Wirtz opened the scoring in the 10th minute, followed by Jamal Musiala's goal in the 19th, showcasing the potential of Germany's next generation. Kai Havertz added a third from the penalty spot just before the break. In the second half, substitute Niklas Fuellkrug scored a stunning goal in the 68th minute, and Emre Can capped off the win in stoppage time. Antonio Rüdiger also contributed with an own goal in the 87th minute. Scotland's Ryan Porteous was sent off in the 44th minute for a foul on Ilkay Gundogan, further tipping the scales in Germany's favor.

 

This victory was not only impressive but also significant for Germany's morale. The team entered the tournament with high expectations, eager to erase the memory of disappointing performances in the last three major tournaments. They failed to advance past the group stage in the 2018 and 2022 World Cups and were eliminated in the round of 16 at Euro 2020. The dominant opening match suggests a promising start for the German squad.

 

Despite the defeat, Scottish fans showed strong support for their team, which has struggled recently following a successful qualifying campaign. This loss marked Scotland's third consecutive defeat to Germany in major tournaments, extending their poor record against the German team to one win in their last 18 encounters.
