Scotland Wilts Under Scorching German Performance

Scotland's hopes of a strong start to Euro 2024 crumbled as they suffered a dismal 5-1 defeat to host nation Germany in Munich on Friday. Steve Clarke's 10-man team was outplayed from the outset, with Germany dominating possession and creating numerous scoring opportunities.

Nagelsmann's Side Dominant

Germany's performance was a testament to the tactical prowess of manager Julian Nagelsmann. His side played with a high press, forcing Scotland into turnovers and creating chances for themselves. Scotland's defense was unable to cope with the relentless pressure, and goals from Timo Werner, Leon Goretzka, Marco Reus, and Serge Gnabry secured a comfortable victory for the hosts.
