🚨 Germany beat Denmark and VAR, close in on quarter-finals | OneFootball

Second win in the second group stage match: the Germans beat Denmark 2-1 and are one step away from advancing to the quarterfinals.

However, in front of the more than 34,000 spectators who packed St. Jakob-Park in Basel, the eight-time European champions did not have it easy

Double VAR setback for Germany

Very soon came the first setback: Klara Bühl scored after a pass from Jule Brand, but the goal was disallowed for offside by Sjoeke Nüsken.

Shortly after, Amalie Vangsgaard surprised goalkeeper Ann-Kathrin Berger with a shot to the near post and put the Danes ahead (25’).

Later, Germany launched themselves against the Scandinavian defensive wall without success. A penalty for hand initially awarded was converted into a free kick after VAR intervention. Thus, they went into the break with a 0:1 deficit.

Nüsken and Schüller turn the game around

But on the third attempt, VAR helped the Germans: a foul on Linda Dallmann resulted in a penalty, which Nüsken safely converted for the 1:1 (56’).

Goal-scorer Lea Schüller put the 2:1 just a few minutes later and completed the comeback of Wück's pupils (66’).

In the nearly 30 minutes that followed, the German team successfully defended the hard-won lead and, after two games, have the maximum six points.
