Comments:

This victory became Germany’s biggest-ever win at a UEFA European Championship tournament and the first time they had won a game at a Euro tournament by a margin of more than three goals. .

It was the fourth time that they had been the sole hosts of a major tournament, having reached the semi-finals at least in the previous three. . Aged 36 years and 327 days, Julian Nagelsmann became the youngest-ever manager to take charge of a game at a UEFA European Championship tournament: previously Srecko Katanec of Slovenia against Yugoslavia at Euro 2000 (36 years and 330 days). . Florian Wirtz had now become the third Germany player to score the opening goal of a UEFA European Championship tournament: previously Gerd Müller in 1972 and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1980. . Germany were awarded a penalty in the 25th minute for a foul but was reversed after a VAR review due to the offence taking place outside of the penalty area. . Germany were awarded a penalty in the 44th minute following a VAR review for a foul. .

Comments:

This loss became Scotland’s heaviest-ever defeat at UEFA European Championship tournament: previously 3-1 by Croatia at Glasgow in Euro 2020. . This was their heaviest defeat in a non-friendly game since a 6-0 loss against Netherlands in a Euro 2004 qualifier in November 2003. . This was the first time that they had played outside of the United Kingdom at a major tournament since the FIFA World Cup in France in 1998 when they also featured in the opening game (a 2-1 defeat by Brazil). . This was the fourth time that Scotland had qualified for a UEFA European Championship tournament. They failed to progress beyond the group stage in 1992, 1996 and 2020. . Ryan Porteous was shown a red card in the 44th minute following a VAR review for serious foul play. He became the first player to be sent-off in the opening game of a UEFA European championship since Patrik Andersson of Sweden against Belgium at Euro 2000.
