The hosts beat the Danes in a huge last-16 clash
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. 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.
The hosts will next week take on the winner of Spain vs Georgia for a place in the semi-finals. Read the game back below with our dedicated match blog!
