GERMANY 2-0 DENMARK: After the game was halted due to an electrical storm, Germany scored twice in the second half as VAR had a big impact in this last-16 clash
VAR 2-0 Joachim Andersen - this felt like Danish injustice but Kasper Hjulmand's troops must also stomach a slice of the blame.
Germany's fortune looked like the hallmark of champions on a night where Julian Nagelsmann's men also displayed their frailties before Jamal Musiala eventually put the game beyond all reach - setting up a quarter-final clash with Spain or Georgia in Stuttgart. Kimmich and Schlotterbeck were both out to make amends, calling Kasper Schmeichel into action. Havertz, who has recently been the subject of fierce scrutiny in his homeland, then let fly with a left-footed drive but the resilient Schmeichel stood firm.On 35 minutes, play was halted due to adverse weather conditions as Signal Iduna Park endured another relentless soaking following previous excessive rainfall ahead of Turkey versus Georgia.
From an online poll conducted by 140,000 Germany fans - 90 per cent of those claimed they wanted to see the Arsenal man dropped for Niclas Fullkrug but Nagelsmann's faith paid dividends.
