Germany performed very well in the opening match of Euro 2024 when they slaughtered Scotland 5-1 on Friday night.

The hosts ensured they started their campaign on a winning note as they entertained the home fans with plenty of goal celebrations.

Scotland, who finished the match with 10 men following a red card for Ryan Porteous late in the first half, were completely outclassed.

Goals from Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala put Germany ahead before Porteous fouled Iikay Gundogan as confirmed by VAR and Kai Havertz converted the resulting penalty.
