The match turned after a weather delay, with Denmark pressing forward just before halftime, but Hojlund couldn't convert a crucial chance. Early in the second half, Denmark suffered a setback when Andersen's goal was disallowed for offside, and moments later, a handball by Hjulmand gifted Havertz a penalty, which he converted confidently to break the deadlock.
Germany continued to dominate, and Musiala extended their lead with a superb curling effort past Schmeichel. With an xG of 2.66 compared to Denmark's 1.05 and 55% possession, Germany proved their superiority and earned a deserved place in the quarter-finals.
