On June 24, Beijing time, Group A of the group stage of the European Cup ushered in the final night, with Phil Kruger's equalizing goal, Germany 1-1 Switzerland, thrillingly scored 1 point, and qualified for the first place in the group! Switzerland came close to equalizing the role of spoiler and dark horse. However, Phil Kruger's savior, Germany's 1 equalizer goal, led to a dramatic change in the European Championship title.

The two teams have met 53 times, with Germany winning 36, drawing 8 and losing 9. In the past 16 years, Germany has played Switzerland 3 times, 2 draws and 1 loss. Germany is still in the 4231 formation, with Havertz leading the attack; Switzerland 451 attacked, and Embolo played as a lone arrow.

A draw would have ensured a hand in hand and there was a possibility of a 'tacit ball'. However, Switzerland is not satisfied with 1 point. In the 28th minute, the deadlock on the field was broken:

Fruller's curling cross from the left, Ndoye cut in, stretched out his foot and scrambled to score, Switzerland led 1-0!

In this European Cup, Germany fell behind for the first time. In a 0-1 situation, Germany went into positional mode, but Havertz lacked the ability to attack, and Switzerland fought back resolutely. Germany, which "abused vegetables" in the first two games, met the hard-nosed Switzerland this time and played extremely hard.

Fortunately, Germany has high school striker Phil Kruger. In the 92nd minute, Raum crossed, and Phil Krueger scored with a header, 1-1 draw!

Phil Kruger's goal overturned the speculation that "Germany wants to lose". With Germany finishing first in Group A, the death half of the European Championship was born:

As A1 Germany, they will face the second place in Group C (possibly Denmark or Serbia) in the quarter-finals, and if they manage to advance, Germany is likely to meet Spain, who are in excellent form in the quarter-finals.

At the same time, Portugal is also in the upper half, 1/8 finals against a team that finishes 3rd in the group; The other 1/8 final in the top half of the bracket will see Group 2 (most likely the Netherlands) face Group 2 (likely Romania).

To put it simply, there are three favourites in the top half of the zone: Spain, Portugal and Germany; The Netherlands and France, the two giants in Group D, will strive to win the first place in the group in the final round of the group stage - if they finish second in the group, they will be in the top half of the group with Germany, Portugal and Germany!

In the extreme, if France finish second in Group D, the top half of the zone will see a devilish race for the title (take the host Germany and favourites France as an example):

1/8 finals, Germany meets Denmark; After the pass, Germany played Spain in the quarterfinals;

At the same time, after Portugal reached the round of 8, the quarter-finals faced France.

The top 4 in the top half of the zone may be Spain, Germany, Portugal, France!

In any case, Spain, Germany, and Portugal are the three favorites, and only one team can reach the final. If one of France and the Netherlands is in the upper half of the region, the situation of the four giants fighting will be more exciting. Brain-burning calculations, strong dialogues, the real European Cup, is about to begin......
