Germany through to round of 16 at Euro 2024 after seeing off Hungary

Jamal Musiala and Ilkay Gundogan teamed up to send Germany into the knockout stage of Euro 2024 with a game to spare after a 2-0 victory over Group A rivals Hungary.

Musiala opened the scoring with his second goal of the tournament before the break before Gundogan killed off hopes of a Hungarian fightback on a day when Julian Nagelsmann's men were made to work for the three points in Stuttgart.

Germany keeper Manuel Neuer had to race from his line within seconds of kick-off to deny Roland Sallai after the defence in front of him had been caught flat-footed, but opposite number Peter Gulacsi fielded Kai Havertz's tame shot as the three-time European champions responded.

Neuer's goal came under threat once again with six minutes gone when the German defence failed to deal with Dominik Szoboszlai's follow-up cross after his corner had been repelled, but this time Robert Andrich managed to block Bendeguz Bolla's attempt.

Gulacsi beat away a shot and Bolla headed away Andrich's volley from the resulting corner with the hosts starting to impose themselves.
