Germany opened Euro 2024 with a dominant 5-1 victory over Scotland at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Goals from Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz, Emre Can, and a brace from Niclas Fullkrug secured the win for the hosts. Scotland managed a consolation goal through an own goal by Antonio Rudiger. Germany's performance was highlighted by Musiala, who was named Player of the Match, and Toni Kroos, who completed 101 of his 102 passes. The match also saw Germany score three goals in the first half of a Euro game for the first time in their history. A penalty awarded to Germany was ruled out by VAR for being outside the box. This commanding performance sets a strong tone for Germany as they aim to progress in the tournament.
