As hosts Germany rioted in the game curtain-raiser, Scotland made a horrible begin to their Euro 2024 strategy.
Also, it's fair to say that Scotland was n't had made a little worse begin to Euro 2024, going down 5- 1 to Germany in the event opening in Munich.
The hosts completely outclassed Steve Clarke's side, which was not helped by Ryan Porteous receiving a flat red card for a terrible tackle on European captain Ilkay Gundogan. The delayed own goal by Anthony Rudiger gave the hordes of Scottish fans who had been enjoying themselves in the lead-up to this game something to cheer on, but the Tartan Army experienced a night of almost total misery.

Scotland "reverses" England in this instance.
Scotland's 5-point defeat by Germany came 23 times after England, which had traditionally faced the same opposition, notably won 5-point against the same opposition in the same area.
The Scots scored five goals in a single match for the first time since May 2012, when they lost 5-1 to the USA in a helpful.
