Here's where you can try
UEFA EURO 2024 Opening Game by Arlo Lipof: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/PMbj498TFt
Today the UEFA EURO 2024 tournament kicks off in Munich. This sudoku is a prediction of the last-minute winning goal for hosts Germany against Scotland in the opening game. In this aerial view the big circles represent five German attacking players, the missing digits being their shirt numbers. The attached arrows show the home team's passing, dribbling and shooting of the ball, from the initial corner kick to the decisive goal. The killer cage represents (the visible part of) Scotland’s goal, the black dot is the Scottish goalkeeper, and the white dots are the Scottish outfield players defending in time added on.
Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. In a cage, digits sum to the number shown. Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the attached circle. In this puzzle all circled digits are different. A grey line is a palindrome and reads the same in both directions. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio.
