In the first round of Group A at the Euros, Niclas Füllkrug came off the bench to score, helping Germany secure a 5-1 victory over Scotland and starting their campaign with a bang.
Füllkrug entered the match in the 63rd minute and just five minutes later, he unleashed a powerful strike from the edge of the box, sending the ball into the top corner. It was reported that his shot clocked in at an impressive 111 kilometers per hour.
On another note, this marked Füllkrug’s third goal as a substitute in major tournaments (Euros/World Cup), tying him with Hungary’s László Kish, Portugal’s Rui Costa, and Germany’s André Schürrle, all of whom also scored three goals from the bench. In the 2022 World Cup group stage, Füllkrug scored once as a substitute against both Spain and Costa Rica.
