Germany showcased their dominance with back-to-back victories over Hungary, excelling in both the Nations League and Euro 2024 group stage.
In Dusseldorf, Germany started their Nations League campaign in style with a commanding 4-0 win. Niclas Fullkrug opened the scoring after a slick pass from Jamal Musiala. Musiala doubled the lead with a solo run from his own half, scoring after a Hungary corner went awry. Florian Wirtz then added a third, driving a shot home from 16 yards after receiving the ball from Musiala. Aleksandar Pavlovic celebrated his first international goal, and Kai Havertz sealed the rout with a penalty after twice hitting the crossbar earlier in the match.
Days later, Germany cemented their status as Euro 2024 contenders with a 2-0 victory against Hungary, becoming the first team to secure a spot in the knockout rounds. Playing in his hometown, Musiala opened the scoring in the 22nd minute after capitalizing on a defensive mix-up, hammering the ball home via a deflection. Gündogan, who delivered a man-of-the-match performance, doubled the lead in the 67th minute, finishing off a swift team move.
Hungary had moments of promise, including a disallowed goal and several missed opportunities, but Germany’s quality shone through. Despite their efforts, Hungary now faces an uphill battle to advance, while Germany looks forward to the next stages, buoyed by the support of their home crowd and a growing sense of momentum.
German fans are already dreaming of a potential Euro triumph on home soil, as the team continues to impress under Julian Nagelsmann’s leadership.
