The second Euro 2024 round of 16 match between Germany and Denmark in Dortmund was a highly emotional affair, including a temporary suspension due to a thunderstorm in the city. In addition, two key refereeing errors occurred in just one minute, leading to the hosts opening the scoring after a penalty converted by Kai Havertz.

Three minutes into the second half at the BVB Stadion, the Danes stunned the Germans and took the lead after a goal from defender Joachim Andersen, who found a rebound in the opposition box and beat Manuel Neuer’s resistance with a low shot at the far post.

In the midst of the celebrations of the players in red shirts, the whistle of referee Michael Oliver was heard. The Englishman was notified by the VAR that Thomas Delaney was offside before hitting the ball that ended up being passed to Andersen for the goal. Later, the images from the technology confirmed the offside, indicating that the infringement occurred because the tip of the midfielder’s boot was in front of the line of the ball.

A minute after the disappointment of the team led by Kasper Hjulmand, another controversial action arrived that needed the help of technology and that ended up favoring the homeowner. After a cross from David Raum, the ball hit the right hand of Andersen, the same one who had scored Denmark’s disallowed goal, and Oliver turned to the monitor to verify the infraction and, consequently, score the corresponding penalty, which Havertz changed to goal with a precise finish adjusted to the left post of Kasper Schmeichel.

After the actions that generated some complaints, the team led by Julian Nagelsmann managed to impose its hierarchy to increase the score in the 68th minute with a great definition from Jamal Musiala and could have scored a few more goals if it were not for the great work of Schmeichel in the Danish arch.

Germany made it to the quarterfinals, where they await the winner of the match between Spain and Georgia (Sunday, June 30 at 4 p.m.). The other qualifier for the clashes of the best eight of the Euro Cup was Switzerland, which struck a blow by eliminating Italy – the last champion – with a 2-0 score obtained after goals from Remo Freuler and Ruben Vargas.
