In the second match of the 1/8 finals of the European Championship the national teams of Germany and Denmark met. The match was interrupted due to heavy rain in Dortmund, but it did not prevent Nagelsmann's wards from securing a trip to the quarterfinals with a comfortable score.

The Germans unlocked Kasper Schmeichel's goal in the 4th minute, but Schlotterbeck's goal was not counted - the refereeing team saw Kimmich's actions as a violation.

In the first half, the teams exchanged sharp moments, which nevertheless led to nothing. The rivals went into the break with zero on the scoreboard.

In the 48th minute Denmark seemed to take the lead after Andersen's goal, but even in this case the referee did not count the goal - the Dane was offside.

Three minutes later, fate played a cruel joke with Andersen: without scoring for Germany, he was the culprit of a penalty in his own net, which was confidently realized by Havertz.

The point in the match was set by Musiala, who outplayed Schmeichel on a one-on-one in the 68th minute. In the end - 2:0, in favor of Nagelsmann's team.

Germany became the second team to reach the quarterfinals of the tournament. Earlier it was done by the Swiss team, sensationally defeated the Italians with a similar score. The opponent of the Germans will be determined in the match between Spain and Georgia. Yakin's team, in turn, is waiting for the winner of the pair England - Slovakia.

In the case of Germany, the forecast of the analytical portal Opta came true.
