In a stunning display during Germany’s opening match at EURO 2024, 21-year-old midfielder Florian Wirtz made an unforgettable impact.

As spectators were just settling into their seats, Wirtz broke free to face Scotland’s goalkeeper Angus Gunn in the first minute, thanks to a superb long pass from Antonio Rudiger. Although the assistant referee flagged for a narrow offside, Wirtz’s run showcased his remarkable speed and movement, hinting at the danger he posed.

Scotland might have thought it was too early to tightly mark a single player like Wirtz, but this misjudgment proved costly. Just 9 minutes later, Wirtz found space at the edge of the penalty area and delivered a precise shot that even a fully stretched Angus Gunn couldn’t stop, sending the ball into the net.

This early goal severely impacted the morale of Scot McTominay and his teammates, leading to two more goals conceded and a red card for defender Ryan Porteous before the end of the first half.

Florian Wirtz was undoubtedly the star in Germany’s dominant performance. His dynamism and stellar qualities emerged at the perfect moment, allowing the hosts to capitalize on their advantage and release the pressure early in the game.

With his goal against Scotland, Wirtz became the youngest player ever to score for Germany in a EURO tournament. Additionally, at 21 years and 42 days old, he also became the youngest player to score the opening goal in a EURO match.For more details on this thrilling match and other exclusive EURO 2024 content, visit BongDa.com.vn.
