Swiss join Germany on maximum points
It’s looking good for Germany and Switzerland after just two games of Euro 2024.
Both countries registered resounding wins to take hold of the first two spots in Group A with the competition less than 24 hours old.
With midweek games against Hungary and Scotland to come next, the top two could have qualification sewn up by Wednesday.
Full time – Hungary 1-3 Switzerland
The full time whistle goes in Cologne and it’s a fine three points for the Swiss.
Hungary made a game of it in the second period, but Marco Rossi’s men were never able to recover from a poor first half in which they were torn apart by Switzerland.

90+5. It’s the Switzerland supporters that can be heard now.
They’re singing their side towards an encouraging three points that will start their Euro 2024 journey in style.
Hungary 1-3 Switzerland
90+2. Switzerland start with a win – and it’s a wonderful moment for the returning Breel Embolo!
Yann Sommer sends a hefty punt downfield, Willi Orban makes a hash of his header back towards his own goalkeeper, and in steals the Swiss sub.
A lovely chest down puts Embolo in control, and he then cooly lobs over the stranded Peter Gulacsi.
After all those months on the treatment table, Breel Embolo is smiling again and scoring again.
Hungary 1-2 Switzerland
90. There will be five minutes of stoppage time.
Five minutes for Hungary to rescue a result. Five minutes for Switzerland to hold on for an opening match win.
