Germany Crush Scotland 5-1 in Euro 2024 Opener
Disastrous Loss for 10-Man Scotland
Host Nation Dominates with a Scorching Performance
Munich, Germany - Germany opened their Euro 2024 campaign in emphatic fashion on Friday, thrashing 10-man Scotland 5-1 in a dominating display at the Allianz Arena. The result marks the biggest winning margin in the history of Euro opening matches.
Scotland's hopes suffered a significant blow when John Souttar was sent off in the 25th minute for a reckless tackle. Germany capitalized on the man advantage, with Timo Werner netting a brace in the first half. Leroy Sané, Jamal Musiala, and Julian Brandt also added goals after the break as Scotland struggled to cope with Germany's incisive attacks.
The victory was a resounding start for Germany, who have their sights set on winning their first European Championship since 1996. Scotland, on the other hand, face an uphill battle in Group F after this disappointing result. They will need to rediscover their form when they face Croatia in their next match.
