Germany Outscores Scotland in Euro 2024 Opener

Nagelsmann's Squad Overpowers Scotland 5-1

Munich, Germany - Scotland suffered a crushing defeat as they faced host Germany in the opening match of Euro 2024 at the Allianz Arena. Germany's blistering performance and numerical advantage proved too much for Clarke's 10-man side, who opened the tournament with a resounding 5-1 loss.

Germany, led by manager Julian Nagelsmann, asserted their dominance from the outset. Florian Wirtz ignited the home crowd's enthusiasm with an early goal, setting the tone for an overwhelming display of offensive power.

Scotland's hopes were further dashed when defender John Souttar was shown a red card, leaving them vulnerable to Germany's relentless attacks. Germany fully exploited this advantage, scoring four more goals before Scott McTominay salvaged some pride with a consolation goal for Scotland.

The victory marked a triumphant start for Nagelsmann's Germany, while Scotland will need to regroup and reassess their strategy for the remainder of the tournament.
