It is true that Jamal Musiala was the one who won the “Man of the Match” award for Germany and Scotland at the opening of Euro 2024, but Toni Kroos achieved a legendary record by all standards during this confrontation.
The German team won by five to one goal in the first round of the group stage, and with it practically placed a foot in the round of 16 from the gate of the first three places in the group.
Kroos participated in 80 minutes of the match, during which he made only one wrong pass!
The numbers show that in the first half, Kroos passed 55 passes, all of which were correct, while in the second half, he made a mistake for the first time and passed only one wrong pass.
Overall, Kroos’ passing accuracy reached 99% during the 80 minutes of the match, after he made 101 correct passes out of 102.
It is noteworthy that the 34-year-old’s participation in Euro 2024 is his last in his career after his decision to retire from football at the end of the competition.
