Germany Dominates Scotland 5-1 in Euro 2024 Opener in Munich
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Germany began their Euro 2024 campaign in dominant fashion, thrashing a 10-man Scotland 5-1 in Munich on Friday. The hosts delivered a strong statement of intent as they aim for a record fourth European Championship title.

Florian Wirtz opened the scoring just 10 minutes into the match, and Jamal Musiala quickly doubled the lead with a powerful finish. Scotland’s night took a turn for the worse when Ryan Porteous was sent off for a reckless tackle on Ilkay Gundogan. Kai Havertz converted the resulting penalty to make it 3-0 before halftime.

Substitute Niclas Fuellkrug added a fourth goal with a stunning strike midway through the second half. Scotland’s misery was compounded when Antonio Ruediger accidentally put the ball into his own net. However, Germany wasn’t done, and Emre Can capped off the evening with a curled shot into the bottom corner just before the final whistle.

Germany, hosting their first major men’s tournament since the 2006 World Cup, showed a renewed vigor under coach Julian Nagelsmann. The team displayed the kind of form and hunger that has been missing in recent international outings, including disappointing group-stage exits in the last two World Cups.

Nagelsmann, who took over the national team in September, has infused a blend of experienced veterans and rising stars into the squad. This approach paid off handsomely in their opening match. The German midfield, orchestrated by the returning Toni Kroos and the ever-reliable Ilkay Gundogan, controlled the game with ease.

Despite Scotland’s early optimism, their chances were severely hampered by Porteous’s red card and Germany’s clinical finishing. Coach Steve Clarke’s side, making back-to-back appearances in the Euros for the first time since 1996, now face a daunting task to recover in their upcoming Group A matches against Switzerland and Hungary.

For Germany, the victory sets a positive tone as they look to recreate the ‘summer fairytale’ of 2006 and lift the European Championship trophy on home soil.
