L’Allemagne s’est qualifiée pour les quarts de finale de son Euro 2024, grâce à sa victoire contre le Danemark (2-0) en huitièmes, malgré une interruption de près de 25 minutes en première période, samedi 29 juin à Dortmund.

They were scared but their adventure at home continued. Thanks to a well-conducted second half, the Germans reached the quarter-finals of their Euro played at home, beating the Danes, 2 to 0.

Denmark, however, thought they would open the score as soon as they returned from the locker room with a strike from former Lyon player Andersen, a goal ultimately refused by the VAR for being offside by a few centimeters… Before the same Andersen conceded a penalty for a handball in his area – rather a finger, again indicated by the VAR – for Germany to take the lead thanks to Havertz's goal (1-0, 53rd).

Musiala then took charge of putting the Nationalmannschaft to safety in the 68th minute, going behind Andersen's back, opening his right foot to beat an excellent Schmeichel in the first half (2-0).
