Germany vs
Denmark
In the 68th minute, Jamal Musiala showcased his skill by increasing the lead for Germany, thanks to an assist by Nico Schlotterbeck. This crucial goal secured a 2-0 victory for the host nation in the European Championship playoff against Denmark.
With this win, Germany became the second country to qualify for the quarterfinals at Euro 2024. The first half was goalless, but Kai Havertz changed the narrative after half-time by scoring a penalty that put Germany ahead.
Reflecting on the match, Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann shared, "The first 20 minutes of the game were the best we've played at the tournament, and then the rain break unsettled everyone." Despite the weather-induced pause, the team held firm against a determined Denmark, who applied more pressure in the second half.
Nagelsmann emphasized the need for further preparation, stating, "There's a lot of work to do ahead of the quarterfinals; we need to be a little more patient in the build-up phase and wait for our moments." Their disciplined performance saw Denmark fail to make a single shot in the first half, securing a well-earned spot in the quarterfinals.
