Jamal Musiala made it two goals in two Euro 2024 matches as he gave hosts Germany a 1-0 halftime lead over Hungary in Stuttgart.
Bayern Munich star Musiala was on target during the 5-1 demolition of Scotland in the Group C opener and became the first player in the tournament to double his tally after Ilkay Gundogan benefitted from a slip by Willi Orban. A VAR check cleared the Barcelona midfielder of a foul on the Hungary centre-back.
Musiala also lashed into the side netting at the end of a move wonderfully orchestrated by Toni Kroos but Hungary proved to a be far sterner opponents than Scotland.
Roland Sallai almost stole in to score in the first minute the Freiburg forward had an equaliser ruled out in first-half stoppage time after Orban strayed offside to head Dominik Szoboszlai’s left-wing free-kick goalwards.

Germany vs. Hungary live updates, highlights from Euro 2024
55th minute: Fine work from Gulasci. Gundogan engineers room to fire in a cross with some slick footwork. The Hungary goalkeeper pushes clear. Kroos’s attempt on the follow-up is deflected but the RB Leipzig man adjusts well to save.
53 mins: Nice counter-attack by Hungary, forcing Andrich to step in. Now back come Germany. A pleasing back and forth to what feels like a key period of the contest.
47 mins: A lightly haphazard block from Orban turns Rudiger’s drive behind. Havertz pulls on Fiola at the corner to concede a free-kick.
Kickoff: 2nd Half
Hungary get us back underway, stacking a load of players in the left-hand side and pumping the ball forward. Germany deal with it unfussily. No changes for either side.
Halftime
Germany are good value for their lead and looked to have Hungary exactly where they wanted them towards the end of that half. However, Sallai’s disallowed goal was a warning. Penny for Orban’s thoughts, who lost his footing for Musiala’s goal and was then fairly needlessly offside for the equaliser that wasn’t. Another good game at Euro 2024 this one.
45+2 mins: GOOOAAAAA….NO! Hungary think they’re level. Szoboszlai with a wonderful delivery from the left, flicked on by Orban. Neuer makes the save and Sallai nods home the rebound. But Orban strayed offside from the initial delivery.
44 mins: MUSIALA! Germany’s main man gets on the end of a wonderful move and crashes a wonderful shot into the side netting. A decent chunk of the crowd thought that was in.
41 mins: The Germany corner count ticks up to six as Bolla blocks Mittelstadt’s latest attempt. Oh and Vargas almost heads Kroos’ corner into his own net! Oooffff, Gulacsi was worried there for a second.
37 mins: Kerkez gets back to head behind under pressure from Kimmich. Kroos to take again. Mittelstadt fires a volley from the edge of the box, which is blocked. The Stuttgart left-back wins another corner. Hungary take care of this one but it suddenly looks like Rossi’s men need halftime to regroup.
32 mins: Kimmich darts into the Hungary box from right back and Dardai takes evasive action.
29 mins: Another chance for Hungary as Kerkez goes bombing down the left. He finds Szoboszlai, who’s shot is blocked behind by Tah’s last-minute intervention.
26 mins: Hungary almost hit back instantly! Rudiger brings down Kerkez to end a storming run. Szoboszlai forces Neuer to push away from his top corner and Vargas is unable to squeeze home the rebound from a tight angle.
22 mins: GOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Jamal Musiala!!!
Oh, Hungary undo their good work. Gundogan ghosts into the box again to collect Musiala’s pass. He can’t control it, Orban gets to it but then loses his footing. He wants a foul, he’s not getting one and Gundogan prods back to Musiala for the Bayern Munich star make it two in two at Euro 2024.

19 mins: Germany still not in full flight, but Musiala and Havertz combine nicely in a one-touch move but the latter’s pass for Gundogan is slightly overhit.
15 mins: It’s been an all-action start to the tournament for Bolla, who now raids down the Germany left. His cutback reaches Sallai on the edge of the box. The shot is blocked.
12 mins: Lovely delivery by Kroos from the left, Andrich fires goalwards and Bolla gets in the way. Kroos from the right this time and Hungary clear their lines.
11 mins: Almost 1-0 to Germany. Orban gets himself in an unseemly tangle underneath a bouncing ball, Havertz nips in and Gulasci saves well before Bolla clears behind.
6 mins Germany half clear a Hungary corner from the left. The ball comes back in, breaks to Bolla, whose attempt is deflected behind by Andrich. The hosts deal with the next set piece but there are enough moments of encouragement out there at the moment for Rossi’s men.
5 mins: Havertz shimmies in from the right, shoots right footed but it’s very easy save for Gulacsi.
3 mins: Rudiger floats a ball in to Havertz, who has his back to goal and far too much room just inside the penalty area. The Arsenal man turns and Fiola manages to get the challenge in.
Kickoff: 1st Half
Off we go. I’m still not having that countdown. Oh, early opportunity for Hungary! Germany all over the place at the back, Kimmich caught napping and Neuer has to spring off his line to thwart Sallai.
8 mins before kickoff: The teams are in the tunnel and a packed crowd in Stuttgart are making themselves heard, not least the incredibly voluble Hungarian contingent. Here they come.
30 mins before kickoff: The teams are out going through their warmups in Stuttgart and we have confirmation that Germany will be wearing their, ahem, bold pink and purple change strip. Something of a break from tradition, some online wags mocked it as the “Barbie kit” but Adidias confirmed to The Athletic this week that it had become the fastest-selling away kit in the national team’s history.
Germany’s new pink kit has become the fastest-selling away shirt in the national team’s history.
The kit was released back in March and, the German FA (DFB) has confirmed to The Athletic, has broken the record for the most away shirts sold in history from when it went on release… pic.twitter.com/IBYMpV4Aq7

50 mins before kickoff: Germany boss Nagelsmann knows the opposition very well. Dominik Szonoszlai, Willi Orban and Peter Gulasci all played under him during his time in charge of RB Leipzig. A few moments ago, Nagelsmann greeted the trio after waiting for them in the tunnel.
1 hr 10 mins before kickoff: Here’s the Germany team. As expected, Julian Nagelsmann has stuck with an unchanged side from the Scotland game. It means opening-night goalscorer Niclas Fullkrug has to be content with a place on the bench once more.

1 hr 20 mins before kickoff: Today’s early kickoff is in Group B, where Croatia have come from behind to lead a spirited Albania 2-1. Andrej Kramaric netted the equaliser for Zlatko Dalic’s side and joined an exclusive club in the process.
33 – Turning 33 years today, Andrej Kramaric is the third player to score on his birthday at a European Championship, after Jean-Francois Domergue in 1984 (27th birthday) and Wesley Sneijder in 2008 (24th Birthday). Party. #EURO2024 pic.twitter.com/9Ag5G24cpZ

1 hr 40 mins before kickoff: It will be fascinating to see how much that patchy recent form against Hungary counts for anything. It’s easy to forget that there was plenty of uncertainty around Germany heading into their home tournament before blowing Scotland out of the water. Die Mannschaft were knocked out in the group stage of the past two World Cups and only got through to the last 16 at Euro 2020 after snatching a late point against today’s opponents. England then ended their interest. But it’s only taken one authoritative performance for people top imagine this Germany team once again as the brutal tournament machine of old.
Hungary performed creditably enough in their defeat to Switzerland to suggest they can at least provide a true barometer of where Germany are at. How much of last Friday came down to the brilliance of Nagelsmann’s side and how much was down to Scotland being utterly dreadful?
2 hours before kickoff: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News’ live coverage of Germany vs. Hungary in Euro 2024 Group A. The hosts were rampant as they hammered Scotland 5-1 on the opening night of the tournament but they are winless in their past three matches against Marco Rossi’s side.
Focused and ready for tomorrow 🔥#DFB #GermanFootball #GermanMNT #EURO2024
