In the opening match of the 2024 European Championship, Germany faced Scotland, and it was a night to remember for Arsenal's star player, Kai Havertz. Leading Germany's attack, Havertz delivered a standout performance that left fans and pundits alike singing his praises.
Germany began the match with intensity, dominating the midfield and creating early chances. Their efforts bore fruit when Florian Wirtz scored a brilliant goal to put Germany ahead. The young star's goal, at just 21 years and 42 days old, set a new record as the youngest German scorer in the Men's European Championship, breaking Kai Havertz's previous record.
Havertz was at the heart of Germany's attacking play, and his impact was felt soon after Wirtz's opener. He provided a pinpoint assist to Jamal Musiala, who doubled Germany's lead. Musiala, another young talent, made history himself, becoming the second youngest German scorer in the tournament at 21 years and 109 days old.
Havertz's contribution didn't stop there. He continued to lead the charge and was rewarded for his efforts when Germany won a penalty. Stepping up confidently, Havertz slotted the ball past the Scottish goalkeeper, extending Germany's lead to 3-0. His goal capped off an impressive first half, showcasing his composure and skill under pressure.
Fans were quick to react to Havertz's performance, flooding social media with praise for the Arsenal star. His ability to create chances and finish clinically was on full display, earning him accolades from supporters and analysts. Havertz's role in both assisting Musiala and scoring the second goal highlighted his versatility and importance to the team.
The first half ended with Germany in a commanding 3-0 lead, thanks in large part to Havertz's contributions. His leadership and attacking prowess set the tone for the match, giving Germany a solid foundation for the remainder of the game.
