Andy Robertson’s Scotland were beaten 5-1 by Germany in the opening match of Euro 2024 on Friday night.

Liverpool left-back Robertson captained his nation in Munich as they were defeated after goals from Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz, Niclas Fullkrug and Emre Can.

Well-taken finishes by Wirtz and Musiala put the tournament hosts 2-0 up inside 19 minutes at the Allianz Arena.

Havertz then converted a penalty – awarded for a challenge that resulted in the dismissal of Ryan Porteous – on the stroke of half-time, and substitute Fullkrug added the fourth in the second period.

An own goal from Antonio Rudiger reduced the deficit but Can’s hit restored Germany’s four-goal lead right at the end.

Robertson and his Scotland teammates are next in action on Wednesday when they face Switzerland in Cologne.
