90' + 3' | A stunner by EMRE CAN | GER 5-1 SCO
Five for Germany! The hosts enter Scotland's penalty area with a rapid exchange of precise passes. Müller spots Can just outside of the penalty area, who curls a clinical strike beyond Gunn's dive.

87'| Rudiger Own Goal | GER 4 - 1 SCO
Scotland have their first goal of the finals! Robertson bounces his delivery across the penalty area, evading a queue of players to reach McKenna. The substitute's angled header is diverted over Neuer by Rüdiger, dropping into the net at the far post.
Goal!

It's a consolation for Scotland! Antonio Rüdiger with an own goal.#Euro2024 | #beINEURO | #HomeofEuro pic.twitter.com/1N04CwMMhF

74| Substitution. Musiala goes out.
An excellent evening's work comes to a close for Musiala, whose strike for the second goal was comparably emphatic to Füllkrug's finish.

70 | Goal! Füllkrug makes 4-0 for Germany.
It's 12 goals in 17 international appearances for Füllkrug now.
Five years ago Niclas Füllkrug was still playing in Germany's 2nd division.

Now he's banging in goals for fun on the biggest stage.
