At the crack of dawn on Wednesday (19th), the first round of group matches in Group F drew to a close, marking the arrival of all 24 of this year's European powerhouses. Amazingly, the first round of matches featured an unprecedented array of players with 34 goals, resulting in a unique phenomenon - all scorers are tied for the lead by one goal, for the first time in the history of European soccer.
The first round of the tournament saw some exciting results, with 34 players scoring in the 12 matches, averaging 2.83 goals per game, such as Germany's 5-1 win over Scotland and Spain's 3-0 win over Croatia, which demonstrated a fierce rivalry. However, there are only 31 players who have scored at least two goals, and they lead the scorers' table by one goal.
If you want to explore the extremes of goal scoring contributions, oolongs are in the spotlight. One player was crowned king of the oops with three goals. The Czech Republic's Robin Ciarani, Austria's Wojba, and Germany's Rudiger all scored one goal. Looking back at the history of European soccer, the record of 11 goals scored in the last tournament is expected to be broken this year.
