22:43 CET - With 10 minutes of regular time to go, Toni Kroos departs the field with Germany 4-0 up. The retiring midfielder said he wants to go out at the top of the game, and that's certainly how he played this evening.
22:22 CET - At the hour mark, it's safe to say Scotland have their backs to the wall. At 3-0 down and a man down, you can hardly blame them. They have failed to register a single shot on target after 60 minutes, compared to Germany's eight.

Germany, on the other hand, are in dreamland. It's 3-0 to the hosts at the break.
21:22 CET - And we have the second... Germany have started their home European Championship in some style with a well-worked goal from playmaker Jamal Musiala making it 2-0 against Scotland.
21:12 CET - We have the first goal of Euro 2024 and it didn't take long! Florian Wirtz opens the scoring for the hosts Germany with a fine finish. Scotland couldn't have started much worse.
