In the early morning of June 30, Beijing time, the first round of the knockout round of the European Championship was held, and in the first two games of the round of 16, the host Germany easily advanced to the top 8 2:0, while Italy defeated Switzerland and failed to defend the title early.

Switzerland 2:0 Italy

This was the first knockout game of this European Cup, but there was an immediate upset; As the defending champions, Italy was in extremely poor form in the knockout round, and the whole team had no fighting spirit, no desire, and no hard work; Switzerland, on the other hand, continued their consistency in the group stage, holding Italy down from the start of the game and breaking the deadlock in the first half through Freuler. And in the first half, the ratio of shots to goal by the 2 teams was an astonishing 10:1!

Just 30 seconds into the second half, Italy suffered another blitzkrieg, Vargas combined with Xhaka on the left and easily hit a long-range shot, and Italy fell behind by two goals. However, even when they were 2 goals behind, and when Switzerland gave up their offensive rights and possession, Italy still slowly fell to the back; In the end, it was naturally difficult to break down the Swiss goal. In the end, Switzerland overthrew Italy 2-0 to knock out the defending champions and become the first team to advance to the last eight. It was also Switzerland's first win over Italy in 31 years and their second consecutive European Championship in the last eight.

Germany 2:0 Denmark

As the hosts, Germany are eager to return to the top in this European Championship, and they did not face much threat in the group stage, but the German tank still showed 120% form after seeing Italy overturn; In the first half, there was a bombardment around the Danish team, but Schmeichel Jr. made five wonderful saves to bring the German team's attack to an abrupt halt.

After returning from the second half, there was another dramatic scene on the field; Denmark's Anderson originally scored a goal in the 49th minute, but it was disallowed due to offside; Three minutes later, Anderson gave Germany a penalty for a handball foul while defending in his own penalty area, and Havertz did not waste a big gift from his opponent; The deadlock on the field was broken in one fell swoop.

In the 68th minute, Schlotterbeck made a long pass from the backfield, and Musiala went to the far corner to expand the advantage; The 21-year-old Musiala has become the youngest player to score in the knockout stage of the European Championship for Germany, and this age is second only to Wayne Rooney in the history of the European Championship; At the same time, he equalled Mikatadze with three goals.

After winning 2:0 against Denmark, Germany successfully won the ticket to the top 8; Spain may well be their next opponent; In addition, after a slump of 2 World Cups and 1 World Cup, Germany also returned to the top 8 of the tournament for the first time in 8 years. As for Denmark, the big dark horse of the last edition, it became the second champion team to be eliminated after Italy.
