VAR confusion
Penalty goal for the Germans instead of a lead for the Danes
What was that all about? First Denmark were celebrating their 1-0 win in the round of 16 of the European Championship, but then the hosts Germany took a 1-0 lead with a penalty. The VAR confusion was complete ...
It was the 48th minute: Joachim Andersen scored to make it 1-0 for the Danes, the cheers were great, but they died away. Referee Michael Oliver from England reacted to an intervention by the VAR. He had seen an offside. A correct decision!
But then Germany are suddenly awarded a penalty. Oliver watched the scene on TV from the sidelines - and pointed to the spot. But why?
The replay revealed that Andersen of all people, the supposed scorer for the Danes, was hit on the hand by a cross from David Raum. The German's arm was not in place, so the decision was correct - and the hosts took the lead because Kai Havertz had shown good nerves.
