وَيُصَلِّي الْإِمَامُ بِالنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، يُكَبِّرُ فِي الْأُولَى تَكْبِيرَةَ الْإِحْرَامِ، وَثَلَاثًا بَعْدَهَا، ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةً مَعَهَا،
Translation: The imam leads two rak‘ahs. In the first, he says the opening takbir, then three additional takbirs, then al-Fatihah and another surah.

The opening takbir is the standard entry into prayer. The three Eid takbirs come after it and before recitation; they are counted separately from the opening takbir.
