Germany secured their passage to the next phase of EURO 2024 with a 2-0 victory over Marco Rossi’s Hungary. Goals from Jamal Musiala and Ilkay Gundogan ensured Germany’s win. Earlier, the hosts had started their campaign with a dominant 5-1 victory against Scotland, while Hungary had suffered a 3-1 defeat to Switzerland.
Musiala broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute after a stumble by Willi Orban allowed Ilkay Gundogan to cleverly assist him. Shortly after, Manuel Neuer made a crucial save from a Dominik Szoboszlai free kick. 
Liverpool midfielder Szoboszlai captained his team in the match in Stuttgart, where Germany’s goals from Musiala and Gundogan ensured their victory. Despite Hungary’s efforts, including two close chances from Szoboszlai after Musiala’s goal, they couldn’t find an equalizer. Manuel Neuer saved Szoboszlai’s free kick, and Jonathan Tah blocked another attempt from him in the penalty area.
Gundogan played a crucial role in both of Germany’s goals, assisting the first and scoring the second with a composed finish from Maximilian Mittelstadt’s cross. Hungary’s goalkeeper Peter Gulasci made several important saves, denying Joshua Kimmich and Leroy Sane, while Kimmich himself cleared a shot off the line to help maintain Germany’s clean sheet.
