Germany are European Championship quarter-finalists once again thanks to a 2-0 last-16 success over Denmark in their Euro 2024 battle at the Signal Iduna Park. There were no football strikes to be had in the opening 45 minutes, which was impacted by the weather as a thunderstorm forced a brief postponement of the match, just as Denmark began to carve out a few chances. However, Kasper Hjulmand 's men were firmly second best in the second 45, where Kai Havertz 's penalty and a fine Jamal Musiala finish ensured Die Mannschaft's progression to the last eight of the tournament, where either Spain or Georgia will meet them.
