Germany won the UEFA EURO 2024 Round of 16 defeating Denmark on Saturday 29 June 2024 at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Germany. It’s all a party moment for Germany obtaining the qualification to the Quarterfinals.
Denmark have reached the knockout stages of the European Championship in back-to-back editions for the first time in their history, having reached the semi-finals at EURO 2020. The Danes have won just three of their nine matches at this stage (D2, L4) , two of which were in the last edition.
The game had to be momentarily suspended due to adverse weather conditions (thunderstorms and heavy rain) in Dortmund.

✅ Stats before the game: This will be the fifth match between Germany and Denmark in a major international tournament (World Cup/European Championship), with two victories for each side so far. The only precedent between these two nations in the knockout phase dates back to the EURO 1992 final, won 2-0 by Denmark.
Three of the last four matches between Germany and Denmark in all competitions have ended in equal terms (a 2-1 for the Germans at EURO 2012 completes the set) – one more draw than the two teams have recorded in their first 24 intersections (two). Denmark have lost all five of their previous European Championship matches against hosts, including one against Germany in the 1988 group stage. The Danish national team was eliminated by hosts England at Wembley in the semi-final of the previous tournament ( 2-1). Germany has reached the knockout phase of the European Championship for the fifth time in a row. However, their last two matches at this stage both ended in 2-0 defeats – against France in the EURO 2016 semi-final and against England in the EURO 2020 round of 16.
