In the 49th minute, Danish player Anderson scored with a beautiful shot, thinking that this was a moment to turn the tide of the game, and the Danish fans in the stands were already cheering.

For the Danish team, being ruled offside by the VAR (Video Assistant Referee) system at a critical moment in the game was undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow and their morale instantly hit rock bottom.
In the 52nd minute of the game, the VAR (Video Assistant Referee) system played a key role again, and after careful replay and decision, it was found that Denmark's Anderson had committed a handball foul in the previous invalid goal, so a penalty was awarded to Germany again. Germany's Kai Havertz showed composure and confidence in front of the penalty opportunity, and he fired the ball firmly towards goal.
The ball slid into the back of the net with pinpoint precision and the score was rewritten to 1-0 and gave Germany a valuable lead. Heading into stoppage time, Germany seemed to be in control of the win once again, but VAR once again played the role of 'finisher' and after careful scrutiny, it was determined that the goal was invalidated for offside, leaving fans disappointed again.

In modern football, the introduction of technology has not only changed the spectacle of the game, but also profoundly affected the fairness and impartiality of the game. In this game, the VAR (Video Assistant Referee) system undoubtedly took center stage, and its precise judgment and timely intervention showed its position as a leader in modern football refereeing technology.
Looking back at the thrilling European Championship quarter-finals between Germany and Denmark, VAR's three key interventions were undoubtedly the turning point that led the game, and their importance cannot be overstated.

Denmark's Anderson seized a golden opportunity in the game, he took a decisive foot and fired a powerful shot straight into the corner of the goal, the whole stadium instantly boiled, and the Danish fans were ecstatic and cheered. However, all this beautiful scene was ruthlessly shattered by VAR.
Through the slow-motion replay, we can clearly see that the Danish team's Delaney was in an offside position during the attack, affecting the German team's defense. According to FIFA's strict offside rules, Anderson's position before the goal was clearly offside, so the VAR system decisively ruled that his goal was invalid.
This made the Danish team's well-planned attack and tireless efforts come to naught in an instant, which is regrettable. This moment broke the hearts of countless Danish fans, and also let us see the huge impact of technology on the game.
Then, in the 52nd minute of the game, the VAR system intervened again, and after careful replay and decision, it was finally decided to give Germany a penalty opportunity. The intervention of the VAR system once again became a key turning point in the game, and its decision was decisive and affected the final direction of the game.
Shortly after Anderson was ruled out for offside, the Germans quickly adjusted their tactics and launched a fierce counter-attack. Over the course of the match, VAR system replays showed that Denmark's Andreesson had a goal disallowed due to a handball foul in a previous void goal. It's a detail that's hard to see with the naked eye in a fast-moving game, but VAR captures it.
With the help of video replay from the VAR system, the referee made a decisive decision after careful review and awarded Germany a penalty opportunity. Kai Havertz held his breath in front of the penalty spot as he calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net to give Germany a 1-0 lead.
The penalty not only changed the score in an instant and gave Germany a valuable lead, but it also put a huge psychological strain on the Danish team, significantly weakening their morale and putting them in an even more difficult situation.
As the game entered the thrilling stoppage time, the atmosphere reached a fever pitch as players from both sides gave their all to fight for the precious opportunity in the final minutes. In the decisive stoppage time, Germany's Wirtz seized the opportunity when he broke through and calmly smashed the ball into the back of the net, sending the crowd once again boiling with cheers.
Just as the German players were ready to cheer and celebrate their impending promotion, the VAR system once again played a key role with a third intervention. Through the replay, the referee determined that the goal was also offside and the goal was invalidated.
This series of accurate VAR penalties not only increased the tension and suspense of the game, but also brought the atmosphere of the whole arena to an unprecedented climax.
In this exciting and VAR game, the German team finally defeated Denmark with a score of 2-0 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the European Championship with excellent performance and two precise penalty opportunities. However, behind the result of the game, what is more thought-provoking is the far-reaching impact of VAR's multiple interventions on the game.
The VAR system not only represents a significant progress in modern football refereeing technology, but also a firm defense and strong guarantee for the principle of fair play. Its existence makes the game more fair and more convincing.
