On June 30, the European Championship made waves again. In the high-profile 1/8 finals, the German team and the Danish team had a fierce competition. Although the first half was unsuccessful for both sides, the second half was a feast for the fans. In the end, thanks to Kai Havertz's penalty kick and Musiala's solo goal, Germany defeated Denmark 2-0 and successfully advanced to the last eight.
From the start of the game, the German team showed a strong desire to attack. Schlotterbeck attempted a lightning strike early on in the opening period, but unfortunately the goal was disallowed due to offside. Subsequently, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and they went back and forth but failed to break the deadlock. However, in the 35th minute of the game, extreme thunderstorms suddenly occurred and the game was interrupted for 25 minutes to ensure the safety of players and spectators.
After a short break, players from both sides returned to the field. Denmark stepped up their attack at the start of the second half, with a breakthrough from Anderson creating a good chance for the side, but his goal was also disallowed for offside. However, the episode did not make the Germans let their guard down, but only strengthened their determination to attack.
Finally, in the 53rd minute, the German team ushered in the turning point of the game. In a corner, Anderson was fouled for handball in the box to win a penalty for Germany. Havertz stood in front of the penalty spot, calmly observed the goalkeeper's position, and then shot decisively and the ball went into the net to give Germany a 1-0 lead.
The morale of the German team was boosted after the goal and they continued to strengthen their attack. In the 59th minute, Kai Havertz had another good chance, but he missed the chance to extend the lead when he deflected the ball wide in front of the goalkeeper. However, the Germans were not discouraged and their fighting spirits were still high.
In the 68th minute, Germany scored again. Musiala received a pass from a team-mate and used his excellent individual skills to shake off the Danish defenders and form a one-on-one momentum. Facing the goalkeeper, he calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net to help Germany extend the score to 2-0.
After that, the two sides attacked and defended each other but failed to change the score. In stoppage time, Germany's youngster Wirtz tried to open the scoring in an attack, but unfortunately his goal was also disallowed for offside. In the end, Germany defeated Denmark 2-0 and successfully advanced to the last eight of the European Championship.
In this match, the German team showed strong overall strength and excellent tactical literacy. Goals from Kai Havertz and Musiala contributed to the team's victory. At the same time, the Germans did a pretty good job defending, and they managed to limit the attacking opportunities of the Danish team.
It is worth mentioning that the race also saw rare extreme weather conditions. In the XX minute of the game, there was a sudden torrential rain accompanied by thunder and lightning. To ensure the safety of players and spectators, the match was interrupted for up to 25 minutes. It was also the first time that the tournament had been interrupted due to weather.
With Germany's victory in progress, they will face the winner between Spain and Georgia in the next quarter-finals. It was undoubtedly a challenging game for the German team. However, I believe that with their strong strength and rich experience, the German team will be able to continue to move forward and achieve better results.
