In the 48th minute of the match, Denmark thought they had taken the lead. Joachim Andersen, following a Christian Eriksen free-kick, tapped the ball into the net. However, the celebrations were short-lived as the referee, after a brief review by VAR (Video Assistant Referee), ruled the goal offside. Andersen was marginally in an offside position during the build-up, leading to the goal being disallowed.
Moments later, the tide turned in favor of Germany. Andersen, inside Denmark’s box, committed a handball offense, gifting Germany a penalty opportunity. Kai Havertz stepped up to take the penalty and coolly slotted it past the Danish goalkeeper, giving Germany the lead in the match.
