In the first round of Group A at the Euros, Germany secured a convincing 5-1 victory over Scotland to start their campaign on a high note. However, a downside was that they failed to keep a clean sheet against a 10-man Scottish side that managed only one shot and zero shots on target.
With Germany leading 4-0, Rudiger scored an own goal in the 87th minute with a “header,” crushing the team’s hopes for a shutout in another major tournament.
According to statistics, Germany has now conceded in 13 consecutive matches across major tournaments, including two at Euro 2016, three at the 2018 World Cup, four at Euro 2020, three at the 2022 World Cup, and one at Euro 2024. Their last clean sheet in a major tournament came in the Round of 16 of Euro 2016 when they defeated Slovakia 3-0. Interestingly, they had kept a clean sheet in all four matches leading up to that game in that same European Championship.
