Xherdan Shaqiri, playing for Switzerland, scored an amazing goal during the Euro 2024 match against Scotland, ending the game in a 1-1 draw. The game took place at Cologne Stadium, where Shaqiri’s impressive first-half goal from 20 meters out brought Switzerland back into the game after Scotland had taken the lead with a deflected shot by Scott McTominay off Fabian Schar.
This draw puts Switzerland in second place in Group B with four points, while Scotland’s chances of advancing to the round of 16 will depend on their upcoming match against Hungary and other results in the group. Both teams had opportunities to score, with Switzerland’s Dan Ndoye missing a crucial chance to put his team ahead and Grant Hanley hitting the post for Scotland from a free kick.
In another match, Germany secured their spot in the round of 16 with a 2-0 victory over Hungary, thanks to goals from Jamal Musiala and İlkay Gündoğan. This win ensures that Germany will not face an early exit from the tournament, a fate they suffered in the 2022 World Cup.
Additionally, in Group B, Albania managed to hold Croatia, a World Cup semifinalist, to a 2-2 draw with a late goal from substitute Klaus Gjasula. Gjasula, who had scored an own goal earlier in the game, redeemed himself with a crucial strike in stoppage time, denying Croatia the victory.
Overall, the Euro 2024 tournament is full of thrilling matches and unexpected outcomes, keeping football fans on the edge of their seats. Stay tuned for more exciting games and updates as the competition progresses.
