Germany launched their Euro 2024 campaign with a decisive 5-1 victory over 10-man Scotland in Munich. The hosts, eyeing a record fourth European title, showcased their strength from the outset.

Florian Wirtz netted the opening goal 10 minutes into the match. Jamal Musiala quickly followed with a sharp finish, doubling Germany’s advantage. The situation worsened for Scotland when Ryan Porteous received a red card for a rough tackle on Ilkay Gundogan. Kai Havertz converted the ensuing penalty.

Niclas Fuellkrug, a second-half substitute, added a fourth goal. An own goal by Antonio Ruediger did little to tarnish Germany’s dominant performance. The match concluded with Emre Can scoring a fifth goal in the final moments.

Scotland now faces the challenge of recovering quickly, with upcoming Group A matches against Switzerland and Hungary.

This strong start marks a significant shift for Germany, which had underperformed in recent major tournaments. Germany aims to rekindle national enthusiasm by hosting its first major men’s tournament since the 2006 World Cup.

Julian Nagelsmann, Germany’s coach, has expressed his team’s commitment to overcoming past disappointments. Since his appointment in September, optimism within the team has been rising.

Scotland’s coach, Steve Clarke, encouraged his team to maintain confidence despite disappointing performances leading to the Euros.

Germany asserted control early on. Toni Kroos, recently out of retirement, and Gundogan orchestrated the midfield with veteran expertise. Gundogan set up Havertz, who assisted Musiala in scoring an emphatic goal.

Initially, a penalty was awarded to Germany for a foul on Musiala, but it was repositioned outside the area upon video review. Nevertheless, a subsequent VAR check resulted in a penalty and Porteous’s ejection.

Havertz’s penalty effectively deflated the spirited Scottish supporters.

Scotland aimed to contain the damage in the second half, but Fuellkrug’s powerful strike extended Germany’s lead. He scored again, but it was disallowed for offside.

Scotland’s only moment of relief came when Ruediger accidentally redirected a header into his net. The match ended with Can’s goal, sealing a triumphant evening for Germany.
