Hosts Germany thrash Scotland 5-1 in Euro 2024 opener
Euro 2024 hosts Germany began their quest for a record fourth continental title with a comprehensive 5-1 win over 10-man Scotland on Friday.
Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala scored inside the opening 20 minutes in Munich and Kai Havertz added a third from the spot before half-time after Ryan Porteous was sent off for a two-footed challenge on Ilkay Gundogan.
Substitutes Niclas Fuellkrug and Emre Can were both on target for Germany in the second half, either side of Scotland grabbing a late consolation through an Antonio Ruediger own goal.
