Euro 2024 kicked off with an exciting start as hosts Germany dominated their match against Scotland, securing a commanding 5-1 victory in Munich. Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, and Kai Havertz all found the net in the first half, capitalizing on Scotland being reduced to 10 men. Niclas Fullkrug and Emre Can added to Germany’s tally in the second half, though an own goal from Antonio Rudiger marred their otherwise flawless performance.

Hungary’s national team opened EURO 2024 with a match against Switzerland. In this game, both sides fielded their strongest players. For Hungary, midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai was entrusted with the captain’s armband by coach Marco Rossi and started the match.

With this, Szoboszlai has officially etched his name into EURO history. As a Liverpool player, he has become the youngest captain in EURO history at the age of 23 years, 7 months, and 21 days. Szoboszlai was appointed captain of the Hungarian team in November 2022, setting a record for Hungary at the age of 22. At this year’s EURO, the midfielder has added another milestone to his career.

The tournament continues with a packed schedule on Saturday, featuring the first triple-header of the event. In Group A, Hungary takes on Switzerland, followed by the highly anticipated clash between Spain and Croatia in Berlin. The day concludes with Italy facing Albania in Dortmund, with a significant Albanian fan presence expected to liven up the atmosphere.

Looking ahead, England is gearing up for their opening match against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday night. Manager Gareth Southgate and his team are focused on starting their campaign with a strong performance and aiming for a positive result.

Euro 2024 promises more thrilling football as the tournament progresses, with fans eagerly anticipating the outcomes of matches and the performances of their favorite teams and players.
