 Germany was awarded a penalty in the 25th minute. Musiala was brought down by two opposing players attempting to tackle him inside the penalty area. Initially, the referee awarded a penalty, but after reviewing the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) footage, the penalty was canceled as it was clear Musiala fell outside the penalty box. The referee then awarded a free kick to Germany.

Kai Havertz stepped up to take the free kick for Germany. Havertz's shot was saved by Gunn. Despite not scoring, Havertz celebrated his effort enthusiastically.

 The referee pointed to the spot for Germany in the 43rd minute. Ilkay Guendogan was fouled by Ryan Porteus as he attempted to score from a loose ball in front of the goal.

Germany showed their dominance by continually attacking Scotland's defense in the second half. Antonio Ruediger's long-range shot was saved by Gunn. But GOAL!
