Great image of Nagelsmann’s team against a Scotland that was no rival to show its candidacy for the title.
Here’s the live!
Germany closes the game with a goal from Emre Can from outside the area. Great shot from the Dortmund player, who was on vacation a week ago.
Three minutes of stoppage time are added. We’ll get to 93.
Germany 4-1 Scotland.
Leroy Sané is very active since he came in for Wirtz. He wants to show himself as a winger for Bayern Munich.

Kroos leaves. The Munich public, including the Scots, on their feet. Emre Can takes his place, who was called up at the last minute due to Pavlovic’s illness.

Tah is booked for a hard foul from behind.
Gündogan had a chance but his shot was cleared by the Scotland defence. The match is an attack and goal for Germany.

Toni Kroos has missed a pass.
As the party does not have much history. Let’s go with some curious facts: Nagelsmann is the youngest coach in the history of the final phases of the Euro Cup. Furthermore, it is the first time in a European Championship that a coach fields a player older than him. Nagelsmann is 36 years old and Manuel Neuer is 38
Yellow for Ralston for fouling Wirtz to avoid a counterattack.
Germany 3-0 Scotland
There are going to be changes in both teams.
In Germany Gross enters for Andrich and in Scotland Adams leaves his place to Hanley.
We’ll see what changes Steve Clarke makes to stem Germany’s torrent of play. Scotland, with one man less, needs a miracle.
Overwhelming superiority of Germany. Wirtz, Musiala and Havertz (pen) scored and Scotland will face the second half with 10 men due to the direct red card to Portius.
Germany 3-0 Scotland.
After reviewing the VAR, Turpin rules that there is a penalty in favor of Germany and expulsion of Portius for a direct red card. Gündogan is fine but a lot of damage could have been done. Havertz will take the penalty.
The one that Germany has had! Be careful because there may be a penalty from Portius to Gündogan. The Blaugrana hurt a lot because it was a very tough tackle. A lot of damage could have been done. It can be a penalty and expulsion. He’s going to see it at the VAR.
A cross-shot from Rüdiger that no one finishes and ends up in Gunn’s hands.
Germany takes a break after a great first half hour of play. The staging of Nagelsmann’s team is being very complete. Scotland, on the contrary, swims in a sea of doubts.
Germany is doing a lot of damage to Scotland’s defense of five thanks to the mobility and unchecking of Kai Havertz, who is giving a lesson in movements behind the rival rearguard.
First yellow card of the Euro Cup, first yellow card of the game. Andrich sees it for a tough tackle on Tierney in a split ball.
Havertz’s shot after the indirect free kick comes out soft and centered and Gunn catches it without problems.
From the VAR they tell you that the foul is outside the area and not inside. Scotland is saved but the direct free kick is very dangerous.
Turpin gives a penalty from Tierney to Musiala. We will see if the VAR does not intervene. It’s doubtful.
We reached the midpoint of the first half with Germany overwhelming an ineffective Scotland. The game of Nagelsmann’s team is excellent but the opponent does not allow us to test his real level.
Germany 2-0 Scotland.
They try to rebuild Scotland but the ball lasts very little. Germany does not let up.
Germany is expanding its superiority after Wirtz’s 1-0. Scotland is paying for the blow received so soon and the Germans do what they want with Kroos, Wirtz, Gündogan and Musiala. Very good start from the hostess.
Germany 1-0 Scotland.
Kroos, as it could not be otherwise, is the one who sets the times and rhythm in Nagelsmann’s team. Let us remember that the former Madrid player will retire after the Euro Cup.
Scotland wakes up as the minutes go by. Clarke’s team’s plan is clear, long balls to Adams and look for the second play.
Germany dominates and tries to combine short play with long deliveries. At the moment, Scotland is only able to defend. Still 0-0.
First notice from Germany! Great frontal delivery from Rüdiger to Wirtz and Gunn avoided 1-0. However, the play was invalidated due to offside by the Leverkusen playmaker.
