At 03:00 on June 30, Beijing time, in the 1/8 finals of the European Cup, Havertz opened the scoring with a penalty shot, Musiala sealed the win, and finally Germany defeated Denmark 2-0 and became the second team to break into the top 8. Their quarter-final opponents will be between Spain and Georgia.

The game was full of drama and it lasted for the entire 90 minutes.

Less than four minutes into the game, Germany's Schlotterbeck scored with a header from Kroos' left-hand corner, only for VAR to intervene to confirm that his team-mate had blocked the foul and the goal was disallowed.

Then, in the 35th minute, it rained and thundered, and hail fell, and the game had to be interrupted for 25 minutes. After the resumption of the game, Hojlen had a one-on-one effort saved by Manuel Neuer before first-half stoppage time, and the Germans escaped.

However, the second half was also less than 3 minutes into the game, that is, in the 49th minute, Neuer's guard still lost the door. Denmark scored a goal in a scuffle through their defender Anderson, but after a one-minute VAR check confirmed that his team-mate Delaney was offside and the goal was blown away. This is probably the least obvious offside of this tournament.

Five minutes later, Anderson and his team were dealt a more significant blow, which was also the biggest reversal of the game. After a VAR check, Anderson was awarded a penalty for a handball foul, which Havertz converted to give Germany a 1-0 lead. In just 5 minutes, Denmark went from being 1-0 up to being 1-1 down.

After taking a 1-0 lead, Germany began to wave, first with Kai Havertz's super one-on-one shot wide and then Leroy Sane deflecting wide of the empty net. When he thought that the law of "wasting opportunities will be punished" was about to come true, Hoylen wasted another half-single opportunity. The result was that Denmark would be punished for squandering chances, with Musiala netting the winner in the 68th minute.

The 21-year-old became the second-youngest player after Wayne Rooney to score three goals in the European Championships. At the same time, he is the first player in nearly 10 years to score three goals for Germany in a major international competition.

In stoppage time, Wirtz also scored a goal, but it was also ruled out for offside. Despite being blown away by VAR, Germany still have VAR to thank, and if it weren't for the two key interventions in those five minutes, they might have been out of the game.

This 0-2 made Denmark go home without a win in this European Cup. They are winless in their last eight major matches (four draws, four defeats), with their most recent victory coming in a 2-1 quarter-final win over the Czech Republic in the quarter-finals of Euro 2020. Denmark, on the other hand, have been unable to break the curse of losing all six European Championships against the hosts, including two defeats to Germany.
