Julian Nagelsmann’s vibrant Germany side face Hungary in Stuttgart looking to move one step closer to the last 16 of Euro 2024.
The hosts won many plaudits after their display in the 5-1 victory against Scotland in the opening game, with Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz in particular signalling a new generation of German talent to go alongside established greats including Toni Kroos and Ilkay Gundogan.
And while Germany further consolidated their status as one of the tournament favourites, Hungary – who some touted to be among the dark horses – fell to a disappointing 3-1 loss against Switzerland.
Marco Rossi’s side were 2-0 down by the end of the first half, and despite a far better display in the second period, they could not find an equaliser before conceding a third in added time. They’ll be aware that they are potentially still able to qualify in third but a surprise win against Germany would set them up nicely for a vital final group match against Scotland.

To Stuttgart!
Onwards we go in this wild, weird and wonderful European Championship, another low-key afternoon on paper having descended into utter chaos in Hamburg. What delights does the day’s middle game have in store for us? Hosts Germany are back in action, still riding high from that opening night drubbing of Scotland and now encountering a Hungarian outfit looking to bounce back from defeat to Switzerland.
Kick-off is not far away.

FUL-TIME! Croatia 2-2 Albania
There’s no time for any more action, as the referee brings a pulsating game to an end! The spoils are shared in the battle between the Balkan neighbours.

Euro 2024: Croatia 2-2 Albania
We’re past the allotted six minutes, and it’s chaos in Hamburg. A brilliant, if cynical, challenge near halfway stops the Croatia counter, and eventually Albania counter. It’s three-v-three for the underdogs and they look to play it wide to the right, but it’s cut out before they can get the shot away!

GOAL! Croatia 2-2 Albania
GOAL! Albania have the equaliser!!!
Brilliant from Hoxha again as he skips past his man on the left and carries it wide. He stands up the two defenders and slips a pass between them to the overlapping Asllani, who then cuts it back to Gjasula, who side-foots it low into the net!
