Schick, a £22m-signing for Leverkusen from Roma last September, came into this summer's finals on the back of an impressive debut season with the Bundesliga side. But the Scotland keeper found himself crashing into the net, along with the ball. Marshall, who clearly wasn't expecting the Leverkusen forward's strike from distance, was sent scrambling. Schick stepped forward into the Scotland half and unleashed a ferocious effort that started well outside David Marshall's left-hand post. While some fingers might be pointed at Scotland centre-back Jack Hendry, whose ambitious shot was blocked and bounced into the Schick's path, but few could have foreseen what would happen next.
Then he took the air from the Glasgow ground entirely with what might just be the best European Championship goal ever.

Wolfsburg never recovered from conceding a goal by striker midfielder Jonathan Burkardt after just 68 seconds. Wolfsburg crashed to a 3-0 defeat at Mainz ahead of Wednesday's all-or-nothing Champions League clash at home to Lille. Only Bayern goal-ace Robert Lewandowski, who has 14 goals in his 13 games, has scored more this season in Germany's top flight. Schick's four goals means he has now scored 12 times in 11 games, two more goals than Dortmund star striker Erling Haaland. He set up Ecuador's Piero Hincapie just before the break, then fired in four goals in just 37 minutes, with two off his left foot, one off his right and a header. Schick was then involved in the next five Leverkusen goals as the hosts ran riot. Fuerth extended their German league record run to 12 straight defeats but pulled a goal back Jeremy Dudziak profited from a mistake in the Leverkusen defence.
Teenage midfielder Florian Wirtz then floated in a free-kick which was headed home by Edmond Tapsoba with the centre-back completely unmarked in the area. They converted their first chance when French striker Amine Adli hit the bottom corner with just 12 minutes gone. Hosts Leverkusen gave a masterclass in finishing by scoring seven goals from their first ten chances.
Schick became the first Leverkusen player in the club's history to score four goals in a single Bundesliga match. With leaders Bayern Munich at second-placed Borussia Dortmund in Saturday evening's top-of-the-table clash, Leverkusen took the chance to trim the gap above them in the table to three points.
