Germany emerged victorious in a storm-interrupted match against Denmark, winning 2-0 and securing a spot in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024. The reigning champions, Italy, were eliminated from the competition by Switzerland.
Hosted in Dortmund, the last-16 encounter saw Germany score two second-half goals, a penalty by Kai Havertz and a strike by Jamal Musiala. The match was halted for 25 minutes late in the first half due to severe weather conditions, including torrential rain, hailstones, and lightning.
Despite challenges, Germany managed to take the lead and secure the win, setting up a quarter-final clash against either Spain or Georgia in Stuttgart.
In another match, Italy was defeated 2-0 by Switzerland, ending their title defense and their journey in the tournament. Switzerland’s strong performance earned them a spot in the next round where they will face either England or Slovakia in Duesseldorf.
The last-16 action continues with England playing against Slovakia and Spain facing Georgia on Sunday.
