Germany wasted no time asserting their dominance as Florian Wirtz opened the scoring early with a precise strike into the bottom corner. Jamal Musiala doubled the lead shortly after with a clinical finish inside the box. Scotland's hopes were further dashed just before halftime when defender Ryan Porteous was sent off for a reckless challenge, allowing Kai Havertz to convert a penalty and extend Germany's lead to three goals.

In the second half, Germany continued to press forward relentlessly. Substitute Niclas Füllkrug made an immediate impact by unleashing a powerful shot into the top corner, making it four-nil. Despite Scotland managing a consolation goal through an own goal by Antonio Rüdiger off a Robertson free-kick, Germany had the final say as Emre Can sealed their victory with a well-placed shot in stoppage time.

The match highlighted Germany's precision in passing and clinical finishing, setting a high standard for their campaign in EURO 2024 under coach Julian Nagelsmann.

Germany will look to build on this impressive start when they face Hungary in their next group stage match, while Scotland will aim to bounce back against Switzerland.
