Emre Can provides the cherry on the top as he slams the fifth goal for Germany. It was the final kick of the match as Germany win 5-1. A comprehensive victory for the hosts and this will be a warning for all the other teams.

Finally a goal for Scotland and it is an own goal by Antonio Rudiger. A wayward header from the German defender found its way into the net and Scotland will be happy with the fact that they found one goal at least in this match.

Leroy Sane has been a live wire since coming on the pitch but his multiple shots have not quite found the target. His latest shot took a slight deflection and was ultimately saved by the Scotland goalkeeper.

Saturday will see two massive games as Spain take on Croatia while defending champions Italy will begin their title defense against Albania.

Niclas Fullkrug found himself in a brilliant position just in front of the goal and his eventual shot did make its way to the goal. However, it was not allowed as the referee raised the offside flag but it looks like there are more goals in this game.

Switzerland and Hungary are the other two teams in Group A and this result will be a warning to both of them. Germany have been quite impressive tonight and now, they have decided to replace Jamal Musiala with Thomas Mueller.

What a strike by Niclas Fullkrug and it is 4-0. Gundogan was robbed of the ball but the rebound fell to Fullkrug who musled it into the goal. It is Germany all the way right now!

The changes has forced Germany to adopt a slightly different offensive shape and that is why the past few attacks were mainly long-range shots. Another one from the Germany defender but it was far away from the target.

Two changes for Germany - Fullkrug replaces Havertz while Sane came in place of Wirtz.

It has been all Germany in the second half. Couple of great chances for the hosts but their finishing has not been up to the mark in the past 10 minutes. A good chance from Gundogan was blocked by the defense while Wirtz's long range shot sailed over the goal.

Germany are not looking to rest on their laurels as they continue to launch attack after attack. The one thing that has worked for Naglesmann is the fact that his side has not led Scotland recoup one bit.

The second half is underway and Germany will certainly be looking to add more goals to their tally. The first half was completely one -way traffic and Scotland begin the second half with a yellow card in an effort to stop Musiala and Wirtz.

It is half-time and Germany lead 3-0. A red card for Ryan Porteous and a penalty was not the way Scotland would have liked to end the half. However, Kai Havertz made no mistake in converting the penalty and this just got way worse for Scotland.

Kai Havertz came very close to scoring the third but he missed out on the rebound. However, Germany can be looking at a penalty as Gundogan was possibly fouled while going for the shot.

Germany have dominated the midfield battle till now and that is where they have looked absolutely world-class. Most Scotland attacks fizzled out before they reached the Germany box and that is because the midfield block has worked out brilliantly.

Che Adams has been a lonely figure in the German half till now and finally Scotland did go for an attack but no end result. An extremely wayward pass was the end of the movement and Germany are back on the offensive.

The first yellow card of Euro 2024 goes to Robert Andrich. The Germany international went for a wild tackle and ended up hitting the Scotland attacker. Not a great result.

A foul on Musiala very close to the penalty area. The VAR is called into action. However, it was just outside the box and it is free-kick for Germany.

This is just too easy for Germany. Kai Havertz received the ball inside the box and he calmly placed it perfectly for Musiala. The youngster did not panic one bit and his powerful shot was enough to make it 2-0. 

Florian Wirtz became the youngest scorer for Germany ever in the Euros. He was also the youngest to score a goal in the opening match of the Euros.

Germany has scored and it is Wirtz. A pinpoint pass in his path and this time, the young midfielder made no mistake in depositing it into the back of the net. What a strike and Germany are off to a flier.

Germany started the game on a high tempo but Scotland are not going to be cautious. Couple of fast attacks and a solid defensive line means that Germany have not found a clear path to enter the opposition box.

The match is underway and Germany straight away had a good chance to score. Florian Wirtz should have done better with the finish but this is a solid start for the hosts.

The trophy is out on the pitch and it is time for the national anthems. Both set of players have taken their positions and we are minutes away from the start of this match.

The opening ceremony is underway with performers dancing on the pitch ahead of the Euro 2024 opener between Germany and Scotland.

Germany (4-2-3-1) Manuel Neuer; Joshua Kimmich, Antonio Rudiger, Jonathan Tah, Maximilian Mittelstaedt; Robert Andrich, Toni Kroos; Jamal Musiala, Ilkay Gundogan (capt), Florian Wirtz; Kai Havertz 

Coach: Julian Nagelsmann (GER) 

Scotland (3-4-2-1) Angus Gunn; Kieran Tierney, Jack Hendry, Ryan Porteous; Andy Robertson, Scott McTominay, Callum McGregor, Anthony Ralston; Ryan Christie, John McGinn; Che Adams 

Coach: Steve Clarke (SCO)

The last time that a host nation won the Euros was back in 1984 when France achieved the feat. Can Germany break the curse? The journey begins today.

This will be the perfect chance for Germany to break their disappointing run in the recent international competitions. Poor show in the last two World Cups and even the last Euro has left Germany in a spot of bother. However, this time, they are the hosts and in front of the home crowd, they can recapture the magic.
