Euro 2024 host Germany had to come from behind to secure a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Greece in a lacklustre dress rehearsal ahead of next week's tournament start. Pascal Gross fired in the winner in the 89th minute, indicating that the Germans still have room for improvement before their June 14 opener against Scotland.
In an error-ridden first half, Germany showed little dynamism and often lost possession. The Greeks capitalized, creating a golden opportunity in the sixth minute, but Christos Tzolis's double effort was blocked by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who will be the first choice over Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Kai Havertz found the net in the 43rd minute, but it was ruled offside. The Arsenal player is expected to start in attack at the Euros, with Niclas Fuellkrug, who came on in the second half, likely starting on the bench.
