Germany Advances to Euro 2024 Quarter-Finals with Convincing 2-0 Win Over Denmark

Germany has secured their spot in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals with a commanding 2-0 victory over Denmark at BVB Stadion Dortmund, despite a brief interruption due to lightning. Nagelsmann's team started strongly, seeing a Schlotterbeck header disallowed early on and facing impressive saves from Schmeichel to keep the scores level in the first half-hour.

The match turned after a weather delay, with Denmark pressing forward just before halftime, but Hojlund couldn't convert a crucial chance. Early in the second half, Denmark suffered a setback when Andersen's goal was disallowed for offside, and moments later, a handball by Hjulmand gifted Havertz a penalty, which he converted confidently to break the deadlock.

Germany continued to dominate, and Musiala extended their lead with a superb curling effort past Schmeichel. With an xG of 2.66 compared to Denmark's 1.05 and 55% possession, Germany proved their superiority and earned a deserved place in the quarter-finals.

Denmark's journey in Euro 2024 comes to an end with this defeat in the round of 16, while Germany looks ahead to their next challenge in the tournament.
