The Germany national team reached the quarter-finals of the European Championships in Dortmund on Saturday evening. The DFB XI deservedly beat Denmark by a 2-0 scoreline. The goals were scored by Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala. All three Borussia players played a part in the match.

BVB central defender Nico Schlotterbeck was in Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann's starting line-up. After only four minutes, Schlotterbeck opened the scoring following a corner. But his headed goal was ruled out by the referee due to a foul in the build-up. Germany dictated proceedings in the match, before a storm led to the players making their way off the pitch and the game pausing for over 20 minutes. Following the continuation, it remained goalless until half-time.

The Danes found the net first after the interval, but Joachim Andersen's strike was disallowed by VAR for offside (49). A matter of moments later, the Germany team were awarded a penalty for handball. Kai Havertz stepped up and slotted home to make it 1-0 (54).

\n

The Germany coach then brought on two more Borussia players, Niclas Füllkrug and Emre Can, in the 64th minute. The duo replaced Ilkay Gündogan and Robert Andrich. Four minutes later, Jamal Musiala upped the score to 2-0 with some great individual play and the game was decided.

The quarter-final will take place in Stuttgart at 18:00 CEST on Friday. Spain or Georgia will be the opponents.
