English Pundit Chris Sutton and Ian Wright blast Scotland 25-year-old defender Ryan Porteous with a brutal message for his obvious foul challenge on Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan during Germany vs Scotland match in the Euro 2024

As the two players scampered for a loose ball, Porteous made a horrible tackle on Gundogan, putting his studs up on both feet and hitting him on the right shin.

Chris Sutton, a former scorer in the Premier League, has criticized centre-back Ryan Porteous of Watford and Scotland for tackling Ilkay Gundogan, a former captain of Manchester City, in the first game of the 2024 European Championships.

The original challenge was lost in a sea of people, but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) quickly sent the referee to the sidelines to look at it. Shortly after seeing the challenge, the French official made up his mind and ran back onto the field to tell Porteous to leave, only 40 minutes into the event.

“That challenge is untenable.” “Reckless,” Sutton told BBC Sport. “That’s a red-card offense, a leg-breaker.” Infuriating task. In any time period of football, you can’t hit like that. “He’s so high because he knows what he’s doing.”

After Florian Wirtz’s goal just under 10 minutes into the first half and Jamal Musiala’s effort that made it 2-0, Gundogan, who was thought to be Germany’s best penalty taker going into the tournament, passed the ball to Arsenal striker Kai Havertz, who calmly converted the penalty to make the score 3-0.

The shocking start to the competition for Scotland was always going to be tough since they played the hosts of the event on the first night. They were supposed to play a three-at-the-back setup, but it looks like they’ll be missing one of their key center backs.

After Ryan Porteous was sent off for a two-footed lunge on Germany captain Ilkay Gundogan in the first game of Euro 2024, Ian Wright called his tackle “appalling.”

Wright said that the challenge could have “seriously hurt” Gundogan.

In an interview with ITV, Wright said, “This is a really bad, awful challenge.” The good news is that Gundogan is not badly hurt. It might have been very bad. Scotland thinks it’s the last thing you need.

The event happened near the end of the first half of the tournament’s first game. Germany, which was hosting, already had a two-goal lead.

Things went from bad to worse for Germany when Kai Havertz calmly converted the penalty kick.

Referee Clement Turpin used VAR to make the ruling, which was then shared with fans inside the stadium.

Scotland had a terrible start to the event when they played a very good Germany team.

Porteous, a defender for Watford, was playing in a major event for the first time. It was only his 12th game for Scotland.

After Germany took the lead through Florian Wirtz in the tenth minute, Jamal Musiala scored nine minutes later to make it 2-0.

Scotland’s last two games in the group stage are against Switzerland and Hungary.
