Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Sports Newspapers:
- Germany on Friday night defeated Scotland 5-1 in the opening match of the 2024 European Championship. Goals from Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz, Niclas Fullkrug and Emre Can gave Germany all three points.
- Ludvig Åberg tops a star-studded leaderboard heading into the weekend at the US Open, with Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy among the chasing pack at Pinehurst No 2. The US Open debutant posted a one-under 69 on another tough day for scoring to move to five under, a shot clear of 2020 champion DeChambeau, overnight co-leader Patrick Cantlay and Belgian Thomas Detry.
- Borussia Dortmund on Friday confirmed the appointment of Nuri Sahin as head coach, with the 35 year old putting pen to paper on a three year contract. Following Edin Terzic’s decision to step down as head coach, Borussia Dortmund have moved quickly to appoint Nuri Sahin as his replacement.

The three-time US Open champion needed a special exemption from the USGA in order to play in this year’s contest, the first time in his professional career he has failed to qualify for a major on his own merit, and he subsequently struggled to rounds of 74 and 73 in North Carolina.
