On June 15th, Scotland suffered a humiliating 1-5 defeat against Germany in the opening match of the European Championship. This game marked Scotland’s largest margin of defeat since 1954.
Throughout the match, Scotland was no match for the German powerhouse, trailing 0-3 by halftime. The situation worsened when Porteous received a red card, leaving the team with only ten players and effectively ending any hopes of a comeback.
In the 87th minute, a gift from Rudiger’s own goal allowed Scotland to score their solitary goal of the game. Remarkably, Scotland managed to score despite not having a single shot on target during the entire match, an astonishing statistic.
This loss is now Scotland’s worst in Euro history and equals their most significant defeat since the 1954 World Cup, where they lost 0-7 to Uruguay.
After the opening 1-5 loss, Scotland will face Switzerland and Hungary in their upcoming matches, with the team’s qualification hopes hanging on these two encounters.
