Euro 2024 - European Championship Matches in Munich
Euro 2024 Group Stage
Friday, 14th June
Germany 5-1 Scotland
The party ended for Scotland in the tenth minute and the hangover started at half-time, as ten-man Scotland walked down the tunnel; three goals down to the hosts, Germany.
Scotland managed another little party chorus, three minutes before the final whistle, after Antonio Rüdiger gifted them a consolation goal.
But their joy was short-lived, as Emre Can topped the event to give the neutral fans of football the biggest opening day scoreline at the European Championships.
Monday, 17th June
Romania 3-0 Ukraine
Romania were fortunate when a poor clearance from Andriy Lunin fell to Dennis Man, who wasted no time finding the space in front of Nicolae Stanciu, on the edge of the area. Stanciu strode on to the slightly rising ball and curled it powerfully into Lunin's top corner.
Romania doubled their lead early in the second-half when Răzvan Marin was first to a loose ball on the edge of the area and lashed it low past Lunin.
Ukraine's defence was completely shattered from a corner four minutes later, as Romania almost almost walked the ball into the net for their third goal; Dennis Man wriggling forward to nutmeg a defender and lay the ball theough to Denis Drăguş, on a plate.
Thursday, 20th June
Slovenia 1-1 Serbia
Žan Karničnik broke the deadlock in the 69th minute, winning the ball deep in his own half and running the length of the pitch, before passing to Timi Elšnik who returned the ball across the goal for him to slot past a diving Rajković.
A last-gasp Luka Jović header from an Ivan Ilić corner, deep into added time, kept Serbia in the tournament.
Tuesday, 25th June
Denmark 0-0 Serbia
Nothing exciting to write home about.
Knockout Stage - The Road to Berlin.

Tuesday, 2nd July
Romania 0-3
Netherlands
Romania started on the front foot but Netherlands soaked up the early pressure and soon turned things around.
Cody Gakpo made it his third goal of the tournament in the 20th minute for Netherlands; coming in on the left and slotting the ball low between the goalkeeper and the near post.
After plenty of wasted chances by the Dutch, Gakpo finally helped Netherlands seal the result; keeping the ball in play and laying it off for Donyell Malen to score an easy tap-in, with seven minutes left to play.
Malen then doubled his tally in time added on, getting the better of Romania on a counter attack.
To Berlin for the quarter final.
