Although it was not one of the most promising evenings for German football, they were able to prevail against a resolute Greek team prior to the start of Euro 2024. The first substantial opportunity to score was given to Greece, despite the hosts’ dominance of possession from the first whistle. Christos Tzolis was presented with a one-on-one opportunity against Neuer; however, the goalkeeper executed an exceptional double save to preserve the score.
