Nagelsmann does not change: Germany takes the field with the same 11 with which they overwhelmed Scotland in their debut match, with Havertz playing nine and the trio made up of Wirtz, Gundogan And Musiala called to move behind him, exchanging positions and always acting in the ball area.

Euro2024: Gundogan doubles after the Hungarians sleep
Down 1-0, Hungary reacts but up front Varga does not have the same cynicism and quality as Musiala: the attacker misses a comfortable tap-in after the save by Neuer on the punishment of Szobolszai, the most dangerous of his. Then, in injury time, Hungary saw Varga’s 1-1 equalizer canceled out for offside, and in the second half he wasted another effort on a convenient cross from Sallai.
Musiala still puts on a show, but the 2-0 goes to Gundogan, who scores an assist from the left by Mittelstädt in front of a Hungarian defense that couldn’t be more static. It’s the 67th minute, Hungary raises their center of gravity but it’s Germany who are still close to scoring. Some thrills at the end for the Germans, with Kimmich who saves on the goal line after an empty exit by Neuer and the silent check by referee Makkelie for an alleged handball in the penalty area Emre Can.
