On June 30, Beijing time, the knockout round of the European Championship continued, and the host Germany in the 1/8 finals faced Denmark, ranked 21st in the world. Kai Havertz shoots from the spot, Musiala scores, and Germany advance to the quarter-finals to challenge for the title, but the miracle of the Danish fairy tale did not happen again, and they are unfortunately out.
Germany quickly started the game with a corner kick cross that found Schlotterbeck's header to score the goal, but the referee signaled that the foul was invalid first, and the threat created by the team continued, and Kimmich's high-quality long-range shot was defused by the goalkeeper, and Andrich's header was confiscated. When Denmark resisted the siege, Schmeichel made many saves with great courage, and the team gradually stabilized the situation and slowed down the tempo.
Due to the impact of extreme thunderstorms, the referee chose to pause for safety reasons, and the players from both sides returned to the locker room to rest. After 30 minutes of resumption of play, Germany picked up the tempo and Havertz's header in the middle was quickly blocked by Schmeichel. Denmark's transition was also not to be underestimated, with Hojlen volleying into the side-netting from a tight angle and then a low shot that followed for Neuer to show in a 0-0 draw at half-time.
In the second half, Andersen came back to the penalty area to scramble to score, the referee signaled invalid, and the offside was a millimeter. In the 52nd minute, Raum's shot in the penalty area was suspected of causing Andersen's handball, and the referee watched the VAR video to award the spot, and Havertz broke the deadlock with a solid shot. Unexpectedly, the reversal of the plot came so quickly, as if it was a trick of fate, and Denmark's mood fell to the bottom in an instant.
Kai Havertz made a brilliant stop to create a one-on-one knife, went straight into the box to face the goalkeeper and fired wide of the far post, the front of the operation was top-class, but the final shot was at community level, and then Sane also reproduced an abstract performance. In the 58th minute of the game, Schlotterbeck's ultra-long-distance long pass instigated, and Musiala, who was inserted forward at high speed, broke into the penalty area with a single knife and shot low into the far corner, a perfect match of one pass and one shot.
Denmark's consumption is extremely high, the head coach has made a series of large-scale squad changes, but it did not have much effect, the score did not change in the following time, Germany eliminated Denmark 2-0 at the end of the game to enter the quarter-finals, and they will face the winner between Spain and Georgia in the next round.
