da pinup bet： The duo helped Germany see off a spirited Denmark side to reach the Euro 2024 quarter-finals in a game full of VAR drama

da prosport bet： Second-half goals from Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala secured Germany a hard-fought 2-0 win over Denmark to reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.

The Germans thought they had taken the lead in the fourth minute when Nico Schlotterbeck's towering header nestled in Denmark's net, only for referee Michael Oliver to disallow it after spotting Joshua Kimmich had blocked Skov Olsen moments before. Just when it looked like Julian Nagelsmann's side would blow the Danes away, the underdogs came back into the contest – which was stopped for 25 minutes due to a thunderstorm.

VAR then ruled out another goal just after half time as Joachim Andersen's smart finish was chalked off due to offside in the build-up and then a couple of minutes later, the Crystal Palace man conceded a penalty – which Havertz subsequently converted in the 53rd minute. To rub salt into their wounds, Jamal Musiala raced away to score his third goal of the tournament 15 minutes later.

Denmark, who drew all three of their group stage games, will rue the chances wasted by Rasmus Hojlund in either half as tournament hosts Germany await the winner of Spain and Georgia in the last eight.

GOAL rates Germany's players from Westfalenstadion…

Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence

Manuel Neuer (8/10):

Spread himself expertly to deny Hojlund a certain goal and then kept the Manchester United striker at bay with a key stop in the second half. A commanding display.

Joshua Kimmich (6/10):

Needed to be smarter with his block on Skov Olsen as Schlotterbeck's header was ruled out. Has had better performances.

Antonio Rudiger (8/10):

Made a crucial block to deny Christian Eriksen's goal-bound shot and showed why he is one of the best defenders in the world over the night.

Nico Schlotterbeck (7/10):

Came in for the suspended Jonathan Tah and was unfortunate not to have a headed goal inside four minutes, only for his effort to be chalked off. Looked a threat aerially but may not keep his place for the next game.

David Raum (7/10):

Replaced Max Mittelstadt in the starting XI and was energetic and attack-minded right from the off. Put in some delightful crosses into the box as well.

Robert Andrich (5/10):

Looked flat-footed at times and made some clumsy fouls in dangerous positions. His place may be under threat in the quarter-finals.

Toni Kroos (7/10):

Wasn't able to dictate the game as much as he would have liked but improved as the match wore on. His curtain call will go on a little longer.

Ilkay Gundogan (7/10):

The veteran looks like he has years left in his career. The 33-year-old was sprightly, drove with the ball well, and was unlucky to be taken off just after the hour mark.

Leroy Sane (6/10):

His pace, dynamism and directness caused Denmark one or two headaches but sometimes he needed to release the ball quicker to his team-mates.

Kai Havertz (8/10):

On another night, the Arsenal man would have had a hat-trick. Took his penalty well, pulled off a sublime bit of skill but spurned the chance to double his team's lead, and had a golden headed chance, too. Showed a lot to his game on the night.

Jamal Musiala (7/10):

There was a sense of electricity every time the 21-year-old touched the ball and took his goal with aplomb to give his team breathing space. Even though he wasn't at his best at times, he is a real handful.

Getty ImagesSubs & Manager

Emre Can (7/10):

Helped shore up Germany's defence when brought into the game.

Niclas Fullkrug (6/10):

The striker is a great option to have off the bench as he gives Germany more directness.

Florian Wirtz (7/10):

Wasn't far away from scoring shortly after coming on in an encouraging cameo. Had a goal ruled out at the death, too.

Benjamin Henrichs (6/10):

Not enough time to make an impact.

Waldemar Anton (N/A):

Was not on long enough to get involved.

Julian Nagelsmann (7/10):

Made three changes to the side that drew with Switzerland and it seemed to work as they improved against the Danes. Stuck with Havertz in attack and it paid off.
