Germany has become the first team to advance to the round of 16 in the ongoing Euro 2024 championship following a commanding two-zero triumph over Hungary.
Jamal Musiala, hailed as a rising star, scored his second goal in as many games to break the deadlock in the first half, with İlkay Gündoğan securing the victory in the 67th minute.
Hungary now finds themselves in dire position with zero points from two matches, pinning their last hopes on a decisive Group A clash against Scotland.
In the other Group A fixture, Scotland squandered their initial lead due to a costly defensive error, allowing Xherdan Shaqiri of Switzerland to score a spectacular equalizer, resulting in a one-one draw.
Switzerland now occupies the second spot in the group behind Germany, boasting four points, while Scotland’s first point places them third ahead of Hungary.
Elsewhere in Wednesday’s action, Albania and Croatia find themselves in precarious positions in Group B after each team garnered only one point following a thrilling two-two draw.
Thursday’s lineup features three matches, including Serbia versus Slovenia, England facing Denmark, and Spain taking on Italy.
