End of first half. Germany leads 3-0 in the first half. With Scotland down to 10 players, this could be the biggest opening EURO score gap in history.

Minute 30: Contrary to coach Steve Clarke's statement before the match, the Scottish players did not show their readiness in an important match like the opening day of the tournament. Defending in large numbers but allowing the home players to coordinate very comfortably. Minute 27: No penalty for the German team. After listening to advice from VAR, the referee determined that the foul was outside the penalty area. Havertz's shot could not beat goalkeeper Angus Gunn. Minute 19: Goal!!! A beautiful through ball from Ilkay Gundogan to Kai Havertz, the Arsenal midfielder received the ball and passed it back for Jamal Musiala to handle and finish neatly, doubling the gap for the German team.

01:50: The trophy and the EURO 2024 logo appear in the middle of the field with flames shooting up to end the artistic performance. In fact, the host country Germany has determined that the grand concert on June 13 - local time, is the opening point of the tournament. It is really a surprise. 01:45: The opening ceremony begins. The performance with artists wearing colors representing the diversity and unity of Europe. The starting lineup of the two teams

After a long wait and the summer heat, EURO 2024 will officially begin tonight (Vietnam time). The opening ceremony will begin at 01:30 on June 12 with a special feature: apart from general information about the grandeur and impressiveness of the sound and light, the presence of some artists or the tribute to the late legend Franz Beckenbauer, UEFA has not revealed anything about the content. It is understandable that UEFA and the host country's Organizing Committee want to bring emotional surprises to fans directly present at the Allianz-Arena as well as on television. The official song of EURO 2024 was composed by MEDUZA, OneRepublic and Leony, who combined their talents to create “Fire”, with the description emphasizing, “The song combines in-house production, captivating soundscapes and pop expertise into a joyful three-minute song”. However, UEFA has only revealed the three artists who will perform the song at the closing ceremony. A day before the opening ceremony, host Germany held a major concert in Stuttgart - an event that was supposed to mark the opening of EURO 2024, which Leony and a number of artists participated in. Quite a surprise with the host country's way of doing things, making people curious about what the opening ceremony at the Allianz-Arena will be like... Speaking of surprises, what can we expect from the 17th EURO finals in the history of the tournament? It could be a shock, like the host Germany being eliminated early for the fourth consecutive tournament, or a team outside the "big guys" winning the championship - exactly 20 years after the Greek team shocked Europe at EURO 2004... Or it could simply be an opening match that the German team cannot win, like the way they started the last 3 major tournaments (EURO 2016, World Cup 2018, EURO 2020) with defeat...
