Germany and Denmark's Euro 2024 last 16 match in Dortmund halted due to storm

Germany advanced to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 after an enthralling and fascinating contest against Denmark in Dortmund.

The hosts started as the more aggressive side and thought they had the opener when Nico Schlotterbeck headed home in the fourth minute. That goal was ruled out for an infringement in the box and Denmark had a reprieve.

They strengthened in the first half and were in the ascendancy when a rare thunderstorm called proceedings to a halt due to dangerous lightning. The match resumed and the team went into the break all square.

Denmark then struck first in the second half as Jaochim Andersen finished of a fortunate set piece routine only for VAR to rule him offside. Mere minutes later, Andersen was penalised for handling the ball in his own box and gave away a penalty.

Kai Havertz slotted it past Kasper Schmeichel and the hosts never looked back. Jamal Musiala added a second with a superb curling strike and Germany secured the win to reach the next round.

Relive all the latest updates from Germany v Denmark below.

GOAL! Germany 2-0 Denmark (Musiala, 68’)⚽️

68 mins: Game over!

Jamal Musiala chases down a long ball and gets there ahead of the nearest defender. Kasper Schmeichel thinks about coming out but halts midway allowing a slight gap to the far corner.

Musiala has options to his right but goes for goal and curls it beautifully into the back of the net.

Euro 2024 fan park closes during Germany-Denmark knockout tie as weather spoils party

A fan park full of German football fans was closed in the middle of their nation’s Euro 2024 encounter with Denmark as a thunderstorm hit.

Around 13,000 people had packed into Westfalenpark in Dortmund to watch Germany in the last-16 knockout tie, when they were told to leave after around half an hour of play.

“The event has ended,” a statement read on giant screens, as fans booed the announcement. “Please leave the premises in peace.”

Germany 1-0 Denmark

68 mins: Germany now make a couple of substitutions. Niclas Fullkrug and Emre Can are introduced having replaced Robert Andrich and Ilkay Gundogan.

Chance!

Rasmus Hojlund collects the ball as it’s fed into the box. He controls it then shoots but there’s no way past Manuel Neuer. Great opportunity.

Germany 1-0 Denmark

65 mins: Close! Kai Havertz is fed the ball down the right wing and carries it into the box. He turns after from Vestegaard trying to block him before slipping a pass to Sane.

Sane shoots with his first touch but turns the ball wide before the offside flag goes up against Havertz.

Germany 1-0 Denmark

62 mins: The Germany fans are loving this now. Musiala makes a sliding interception and turns the ball out of play deep in Denmark’s half.

The supporters love that effort.

Germany 1-0 Denmark

59 mins: Close!

Germany should score. Kai Havertz spins perfectly to get in behind the Denmark defence and drives the ball into the box. He goes it alone after Leroy Sane is seemingly fouled on the edge of the box.

Schmeichel comes off his line, Havertz chips in, the ball bobbles wide!

Germany 1-0 Denmark

56 mins: Two disallowed goals and now Germany take the lead from a penalty. This game has a lot of talking points already. Can Denmark get themselves back in the match?

GOAL! Germany 1-0 Denmark (Havertz, 53’)⚽️

53 mins: Kai Havertz steps up for Germany and sticks the ball right into the bottom right corner. Kasper Schmeichel dives the correct way but the shot is perfectly placed and beats his outstretched hand giving the hosts the lead in this game.

PENALTY! Germany 0-0 Denmark

52 mins: What a turnaround.

Joachim Andersen has had a goal ruled out at one end and at the other end he’s just given away a penalty. He’s trying to block and the cross strikes his hand which is away from his body.

The referee is sent to the monitor and awards Germany the spot kick.

Mike Jones29 June 2024 21:35

NO GOAL! Germany 0-0 Denmark

50 mins: VAR has had its say and when the ball was flicked on Andersen was offside. His shot is determined to be in the same phase of play and as such the goal is ruled out.
