Germany v Hungary Euro 2024 player ratings: Gundogan 8, Musiala 7; Szoboszlai 7, Varga 5

Jamal Musiala and Ilkay Gundogan scored as hosts Germany became the first team to qualify for the last-16 of Euro 2024 on Wednesday after beating Hungary 2-0 in Stuttgart.

Musiala struck for the second game running midway through the first half, much to the anger of Hungary players who felt a foul should have been awarded in the build-up.

Gundogan grabbed his side's second on 67 minutes as Germany eased to a second successive win in Group A, making sure they will progress to the knockout phase at least as one of the best third-placed sides.

Julian Nagelsmann's men can wrap up top spot when they play Switzerland in Frankfurt in their final group fixture on Sunday.

“We are getting better, but as we improve we have to overcome some problems, that is what this game showed today, especially in the first half,” said Gundogan. “But that's the tournament – you have to survive such situations. We survived and then hit back.

“I wanted to remain patient, to complete my tasks without taking myself too seriously. The more often you train together, the better the feeling for your teammates as well – the feeling gets better with the lads around me.”

Hungary are staring at elimination after back-to-back defeats and must beat Scotland if they are to stand any chance of reaching the last 16. “Scotland is a very physical team,” said manager Marco Rossi.

“The most important thing to do in the last match is to show on the pitch what our fans are always asking from us – they know our level. I don’t ask them to score goals, I ask them to give their maximum effort.
