Euro 2024 has started with an eventful game between Germany and Scotland.
Florian Wirtz opened the scoring with a cool finish from the edge of the box, while Jamal Musiala bagged a brilliant goal for Germany's second against Scotland in the Euro 2024 opener. Kai Havertz also slotted home from the penalty spot in the first half, helping the Germans head into the break 3-0 up.
But while Musiala's goal was exceptional - their fourth could be the pick of the bunch...

With the game in the 68th minute, Musiala picked the ball up on the left wing before threading an eye-of-the-needle pass through to Ilkay Gundogan running into the box. The Germany captain was slightly unable to take the ball in his path, but it fell to Niclas Fullkrug on the edge of the box.
Though the striker had just entered the pitch as a substitute, he latched onto the ball, taking one touch to set himself before firing a thunderbolt into the top corner of Angus Gunn's goal with unerring accuracy.
In a strike clean and pure, it stayed true as it hit the back of the net, helping Fullkrug highlight his credentials to the watching Germany fans.
The Borussia Dortmund striker then added what he thought was a second a few minutes later, but it was ruled out for offside.
