In the opening match of the European Championship, the hosts of Group A, Germany, take on Scotland. Throughout the game, the dominant German team comprehensively suppressed the opponent, with a possession rate of 73%, and the number of shots on goal was 20:1 to suppress Scotland. Germany scored three goals in the first half and two more in the second half to beat Scotland 5-1 thanks to goals from Wirtz, Musiala, Kai Havertz, Phil Krueger and Emrejan.

Just one minute into the first minute, the German team's backfielder Rudiger made a long pass and found Wirtz in the front, who was saved by a single knife. The German team playing at home was full of momentum, while the Scottish team did not suffer at all in the physical confrontation. After a few minutes of acclimatisation, the Germans were in a very high formation, with both centre-backs pressing through the half and attacking around Scotland's half.

In the 10th minute, after a series of short passes in the front, Kimmich on the side crossed the middle, and Wirtz, who followed up, met the ball and pushed the goal! Germany took the lead first. After taking the lead, Germany still dominated possession, but began to slow down the tempo of the game. In the 19th minute, Gundogan sent a precise straight stopper, Havertz knocked horizontally, and Musiala took the ball and shot angrily, 2:0! I was expecting the bucket formation to withstand the attack of the German team, but I didn't expect that in less than 20 minutes, Scotland fell behind by 2 goals!

In the 24th minute, an unexpected scene happened again, the German team crossed from the side, Musiala at the top of the penalty area was put down by the opponent, the referee blew a penalty for the first time, and after the video assistant referee intervened, it was changed to a set-piece on the penalty line, and then Havertz's strong shot was saved by the goalkeeper. The two teams then got into a long midfield tussle, with Scotland constantly trying to press, but the skill and speed of Wirtz and Musiala were something the team feared.

In the 42nd minute, the German team hoisted the ball into the penalty area, and three consecutive shots in front of the goal, at two o'clock, and outside the penalty area, all of them were blocked! But I didn't expect the video assistant referee to intervene again, Portius tackled Gundogan, and after the referee checked, Portius was sent off with a red card and gave the German team a penalty at the same time, Havertz used the change of rhythm to deceive the goalkeeper and hit the penalty! Germany extended their advantage to three goals. At the end of the half, Germany scored a perfect half and led 3-0.

Throughout the first half, the powerful German team not only firmly controlled the situation, but also was so efficient that the winner of the game was decided in almost 45 minutes. Several attacking players in the front field are in very good shape, with twin stars Musiala and Wirtz taking turns to perform, and striker Kai Havertz assisting and scoring again. The German team is also more tactically rich, with penetration, passing, crosses from the wings, and sharp counterattacks, and the tactics are extremely rich.

For the Scottish team, they originally wanted to defend against the onslaught of the opponent, or lose as little as possible, and start the battle in the second half, but they were three goals behind and there was one less person on the field, and the players' morale was gone. It can only be said that the situation in the second half was more unfavorable, whether it was the defense or the goal that broke the boat, it required a lot of courage from the manager.

Coming back in the second half, both teams made minor changes to their line-ups, with Scotland picking up slightly in attack in the opening minutes. But then, the overall rhythm was controlled by the German team, and Rudiger's powerful shot from 30 meters away was saved by the goalkeeper! In the 57th minute, Musiala crossed from the side, and Wirtz at the back post met the ball and shot slightly higher.

The German team pressed all the formation to about 40 meters of the opponent's penalty area, and Scotland was helpless, and the defensive formation was very flat. In a short period of time, the German team formed a series of shooting opportunities in the penalty area, and goalkeeper Gunn Gao received and resisted, coupled with the dense personnel defense, to avoid further expansion of the point difference. Then the German team replaced Wirtz and Havertz with Phil Krueger and Sane! Sane, who had just come on the pitch, won the opportunity to face the goalkeeper, but unfortunately the last shot was weak.

And Scotland replaced Gilmour and McLean, in the 68th minute, the German team took the ball in the backfield and quickly advanced to the front, Musiala instigated the attack, and the substitute Phil Krueger burst into the next city, 4:0! The game was completely ruined. Musiala then came off and was replaced by veteran Muller.

In the final period, Sane got a lot of attacking opportunities, but he didn't form a combination with his team-mates, and most of the shots ended in wide. In the 87th minute, Scotland took advantage of a set-piece opportunity to pull one back with a beautiful own goal from Rudiger looking back at the moon. In the last minute of stoppage time, Emrejan shot hard from outside the penalty area, and the ball went straight into the dead corner, 5:1! In the end, the score was maintained until the end of the game.

For Scotland, it is a pity that they met a strong host in the first game, and the final 1:5 defeat was also helpless. The next two opponents in the group are also not weak, and Scotland needs to think about it. For the German team, not only did the team win big, but more importantly, the squad had few weaknesses, and the substitutes were in excellent form. Two 21-year-old talented teenagers, Musiala and Wirtz, shined even more. This European Cup, for the German team, must be ambitious, sword to the crown.
