With Havertz's penalty and Musiala's goal, in the 1/8 finals of the European Cup, the host Germany defeated Denmark 2-0, refused to cause an upset, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the European Cup!
In the group stage, the German team got off to a smooth start as the host, beating Scotland 5-1 in the opening game and Hungary 2-0 in the second round. In the last round, in the case of rotating a number of main players, Germany drew 1-1 with Switzerland, exposing certain hidden dangers. On the other hand, Denmark drew three times in a row in the group stage and did not seem to be on the same level as the powerful hosts.
However, in the first match of the 1/8 finals of the European Cup, the Swiss team defeated Italy 2-0, which made German fans a little nervous and added a lot of confidence to the Danish team.
Just four minutes into the game, Schlotterbeck jumped high in front of the goal to score from a corner kick opportunity, but the referee ruled that Kimmich had committed a foul and the goal was invalidated.
In the 35th minute, the scene was temporarily interrupted due to extreme weather of thunderstorms, and the game resumed after a 25-minute hiatus. Obviously, the impact of this interruption on the German team was greater, and the pressure on the hosts increased sharply. Just before half-time, Hojlen had a one-on-one chance and Manuel Neuer stepped up to save the German team.
At half-time, Germany 0-0 Denmark.
In the second half, the German team was still confused. In the 49th minute, Anderson helped Denmark score, but it was ruled offside, and the German team escaped before waking up completely.
In the 52nd minute, Anderson was fouled for handball in the penalty area while defending, and the referee awarded a penalty, and Havertz took the penalty easily, giving Germany a 1-0 lead.
After the goal, the German team completely found their attacking form. In the 58th minute, Havertz's one-on-one shot was slightly wide, and in the 63rd minute, Havertz broke all the way to the bottom line and reversed the triangle backpass, and Sane missed a good chance to open the net. In the 68th minute, the goal came again, Musiala formed a single knife against offside, and the Bayern prince scored after a slight adjustment, and the German team led 2-0.
In stoppage time, Wirtz scored a goal that was ruled offside. Havertz was then singled out by Schmeichel.
At the end of the game, the host German team refused to cause an upset, and with Havertz's penalty goal and Musiala's goal, they defeated Denmark 2-0 to advance to the quarterfinals of the European Championship!
