Thunderstorm interruption and VAR whirlwind – Germany’s quarter-finals in video
Germany wins a memorable round of 16 match. After a long thunderstorm interruption, the VAR is in the spotlight twice within a few seconds: Denmark’s lead is taken away, then the DFB team celebrates a penalty. The highlights in the video.
A strange incident is keeping the Dortmund police busy around the round of 16 match between Germany and Denmark. A 21-year-old climbed onto the roof of the stadium and was arrested after the final whistle. A helicopter was deployed.
When the second half of the eventful round of 16 match between Germany and Denmark was about to begin, referee Michael Oliver was initially unable to blow the whistle. He called the captains of both teams over and spoke to İlkay Gündoğan and Kasper Schmeichel at the halfway line.
The trio kept looking up towards the roof of the Dortmund Arena. The reason for this remained unclear until the final whistle of the match, which Germany won 2-0.
