Germany's Resilient Comeback: Securing Quarterfinal Spot in Euro 2025
In a thrilling encounter at St. Jakob-Park, Germany showcased their resilience by coming from behind to defeat Denmark 2-1 in the Euro 2025 Women's Championship. This victory has placed Germany on the brink of securing a quarterfinal spot, a significant step in their quest for redemption after a disappointing exit in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Match Highlights
Germany, the 2022 Euros finalists, faced a challenging first half. Rushed clearances and poor decision-making allowed Denmark to take the lead midway through the half. However, Germany's determination shone through in the second half.
VAR Drama
The match was not without its share of VAR controversies. Germany's initial goal was ruled out for offside after a lengthy review. Later, a penalty was awarded to Germany following a VAR intervention, which Sjoeke Nüsken confidently converted to level the score.
Decisive Moment
Lea Schüller capitalized on Denmark's defensive lapse to score the winning goal. Despite the controversy surrounding the play, where Denmark's Emma Snerle was injured, the goal stood, sealing Germany's victory.
