It looked like a win-win situation, but Germany's team, despite having the best of the best, played like a sleepwalking team. Switzerland, on the other hand, were hungry for goals, and were impressive in both offense and defense.
The battle kicked off with a precise direct pass from Musiala, which Gündoğan sprinted on to but was unable to hold onto the ball and was swiftly converted. Havertz's header was deflected by the keeper and then grabbed again, only to be blocked by the defense. Andrich then fired a shot from outside the box into the net, but the goal was ruled out by VAR for a foul in the box by Musiala. In the 30th minute, Fruhler sent a pinpoint cross for N'Doye to head home, which VAR confirmed gave Switzerland a 1-0 lead.
At the break, Germany repeatedly threatened, but none of them were converted into goals. Musiala's shot was parried, Gündoğan's follow-up shot was deflected, and Kimmich's chance in front of goal was deflected by the goalkeeper. In the end, Vargas' goal was ruled out for offside. Germany leveled the score at 1-1 in the last minute and topped the group with seven points, while Switzerland followed with five points, becoming the fourth team to advance to the round of 16 after Germany, Portugal and Spain.
Scotland and Hungary are meeting for the first time in the Europa League. Scotland are third in the group with just one point from the first two rounds, while Hungary are bottom of the table with no points. The winner will win qualification.
A win for Scotland would guarantee progression as the other third place finishers in the group currently have either one or two points. Scotland did not have a strong desire to win in what was a do-or-die battle for progression. While neither side had a shot on goal in the first half, Hungary had five shots, one on target. Bora's long range shot was parried, Sobosloj's free kick was blocked by the wall and Orban's offside header hit the crossbar.
In the second half, both teams remained flat, with Scotland's offense lacking and Hungary failing to break through with a number of shots on goal. However, right at the end of the game, Kosobos scored a crucial goal to help Hungary win 1-0 and advance against the odds.
