Germany reach last eight of Euro 2024 after weather-affected win over Denmark

breakingnews.ie

Germany overcame Denmark and adverse weather conditions that saw play suspended to reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2024. Second-half goals from Kai Havertz – a penalty after Denmark had an effort ruled out by VAR for offside moments earlier – and Jamal Musiala gave the hosts a 2-0 win and a place against Spain or Georgia in the last eight.

But that was not the whole story on a dramatic and stormy night in Dortmund when English referee Michael Oliver took the players from the field after 35 minutes due to thunder and lightning.

Play was suspended after 35 minutes in Dortmund (Martin Rickett/PA) There was a 24-minute delay before the action resumed in front of soaked supporters, who had tried to protect themselves from torrential rain under makeshift covers.

Germany had the ball in the net inside four minutes as centre-back Nico Schlotterbeck rose to meet Toni Kroos’ corner and beat Kasper Schmeichel with a towering header.
