Minute 48: Joachim Andersen catches a loose ball in the German area and mark at the half turn. Minute 50: The referee, at the request the VAR cancels it for offside at the start of the play. Minute 51: Andersen deflects with his hand a Raum center. He is a defender, and he is in the Danish area. Minute 52: The VAR warns the referee Michael Oliver to see the penalty that went unnoticed. Minute 53: Havertz scores to make it 1-0 for Germany.
The ups and downs of modern football marked the duel, since the videographic review had disallowed a goal by Nico Schlotterbeck without the reason being clear at the beginning of the game, and it is modern that the game was stopped due to the threat of a thunderstorm that was confirmed with a brief storm with hail.
But there are traditions that tend to be fulfilled and Germany asserted its status as host and the strength of its will to eliminate Denmark with a solid performance, the fourth of the tournament, although it had difficulties with Switzerland, understandable, seeing the shake it gave to Italy. Germany awaits Spain if they beat Georgia in the quarterfinals.
Germany had a couple of tight moments – what team doesn’t have them these days? – which ended when Jamal Musiala made it 2-0 off the scoreboard in a solo breakaway. Poor Andersen could not keep up with him, whether it was due to the weight of his conscience, disgust or guilt.

Frustrated defeat
Germany was also able to beat Germany with several escapes from its strikers with the score 2-0. It was then that Denmark played with three defenders at the back, an idea that had become unfeasible from the beginning due to Germany’s harassment. Bah and Maehle played hidden, and the team was never able to stretch forward, neither with its wingers nor with balls that Hojlund held at the top, except in very specific moments due to some German loss.
It was not just an early charge to impress, even though In 10 minutes Germany took three corners and finished all three: The first ended in a goal without Gündogan being seen to interfere with Schmeichel enough to prevent him from reaching Schlotterbeck’s imposing header.

The game stops
Germany kept the gas on, and when the match was stopped, they filled up the tank with petrol. Oliver stopped the game shortly after the lightning flashes in the sky; the English referee was wise, because he unleashed a strong storm of water and hail that did not catch the players, already in the locker room.
The second outing on the field repeated the course of the first. Within a minute, Havertz and Schlotterbeck – the centre-back who replaced the suspended Bah, a hyperactive player present in both areas – finished off Schmeichel again. But Germany returned to the locker room with a scare due to a exemplary nordic backlash which aborted Neuer’s early exit at the feet of Hojlund.
The third resumption precipitated events with the goals and dictated the progressive change of script, insufficient for Germany not to confirm that it is back to what it once was.
