Germany trail at half-time: Twice unlucky with VAR decisions | OneFootball

In the group match of the Women's Euro between Germany and Denmark, the German team is trailing 0-1 at halftime. In the first half, the Wück team was on the losing end of two tricky decisions.

After a strong start, Klara Bühl scored the supposed 1-0 for Germany, but the goal was disallowed shortly after due to an offside position by Sjoeke Nüsken. She was in the line of sight of the Danish goalkeeper at the time of the shot and was also significantly closer to the goal line than all the Danish outfield players.

After that, it seemed as if someone had pulled the plug on the German game. Numerous ball losses and inaccurate passing brought the Danes increasingly into the game, and they took advantage of their first chance through Amalie Vangsgaard to take the lead.

A second critical scene occurred after 37 minutes. A Bühl cross was clearly deflected by Thögersen with her hand. The VAR intervened again and investigated whether the Danish player was outside the penalty area during the handball.

There were no evidence images shown on TV, but the decision was very close. Again, it went in favor of Denmark. Germany could not capitalize on the ensuing free kick, and thus the German team needs a turnaround in the second half.
