Toni Kroos’ brilliant performance, as well as Kai Havertz and Kieran Tierney’s contrasting emotions, were standouts in Germany’s impressive victory over Scotland.

1. Toni Kroos class 

The German team’s opening goal came from Kroos’ brilliant flick to the right corridor, which set up Florian Wirtz to score.

According to Squawka statistics, the 34-year-old midfielder is the match’s top performer in terms of touches (108), successful passes (101), passing accuracy rate (99%), and number of opportunities.

Convincing Kroos to reverse his decision to retire from international football could be critical for “Die Mannschaft” to win the EURO championship at home and reclaim Europe after 28 years of waiting.

2. Arsenal is divided between sadness and happiness

Kai Havertz did not betray the captain’s trust, as coach Julian Nagelsmann had him play highest in attack from the start. The Arsenal main man created a wall for Jamal Musiala to make it 2-0 before increasing his own lead to three goals.

Kieran Tierney, Havertz’s Arsenal teammate, was saddened by his victory. The Scottish defender had a terrible day of competition, being tormented by virtual detonators from his own team.

3. German force depth

Leading from a safe distance allowed Nagelsmann to withdraw Havertz, Wirtz, and Kroos from the field to recuperate. Germany maintained their dominance in alternative options, with Niclas Fullkrug and Emre Can taking turns filling in on the electronic board after coming off the bench.

Germany demonstrated its destructive power, crushing Scotland with five goals.

The goals of “Die Mannschaft” are equally distributed among five different names, demonstrating the diversity and fear in approaches to the opponent’s goal.
