In congregational prayer, if the follower is not worried about missing reciting Surah Al-Fatihah, then it is recommended to recite the opening supplication (doa iftitah) first.

4. Following the Position of the Imam

"If you become a latecomer in prayer and see the imam performing a different prayer movement, then it is not recommended for you to recite the opening supplication (doa iftitah). Instead, you should immediately align yourself with the imam's position at that time. (Muhammad bin Umar bin Alin Nawawi Banten, Nihayatuz Zain, Songqopuro Indonesia, al-Haramin, first edition, page 62)."
