Germany vs Denmark, Euro 2024: Match interrupted due to thunderstorm; Top talking points from the round of 16 duel GER vs DEN

Hosts Germany defeated underdogs Denmark 2-0 in the round of 16 of the 2024 European Championship after play was temporarily suspended due to adverse weather conditions and thunderstorms over the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund.

Sports Star takes a look at the most important topics of discussion at the meeting:

Wirtz and Mittelstadt on the bench

Wirtz scored the first goal at Euro 2024 and was a regular in the German squad for all three group matches, but was benched for Leroy Sane.

Wirtz started the tournament strongly, but was unable to shine as much as he did in subsequent matches against Hungary or Switzerland.

Even Maximilian Mittelstadt was benched, but that may have been because he has a yellow card and was probably a precautionary measure to avoid risking him being suspended.

Goal by Schlotterbeck not given!

Nico Schlotterbeck headed the ball into the net for Germany against Denmark in the 4th minute after a corner, but even without a quick VAR review, no goal was given.

Schlotterbeck ran into the penalty area and was also not offside, but during the build-up Joshua Kimmich brought Andreas Skov Olsen down.

Kimmich stopped the Danish player who was covering Schlotterbeck and was able to run towards the goal completely unguarded and head the ball into the goal.
