Germany 2-1 Denmark result - UEFA Women's Euro reaction as Lea Schuller completes German comeback and leaves Danes on brink of exit

Goals from Sjoeke Nusken and Lea Schuller helped Germany come from behind to beat Denmark 2-1 and leave themselves on the cusp of a UEFA Women’s Euro quarter-final berth, and Denmark close to an exit.

Amalie Vangsgaard’s well-hit strike meant the Danes led at the break, but a Klara Buhl goal disallowed for an offside player in the goalkeeper’s eyesight minutes earlier was evidence of the threat Germany posed.

That threat came to fruition within 10 minutes of the restart, as a VAR review resulted in a German penalty – having taken one away in the first half – and Chelsea’s Nusken made no mistake.

In the 66th minute, the comeback was complete after Denmark’s Emma Snerle was struck in the face by a team-mate’s clearance and the ball ricocheted kindly for Germany. Play carried on, despite Snerle’s apparent head injury, and Jule Brand slipped in Schuller who put Germany ahead with a clinical, first-time finish.

An injury to the referee was among the reasons for nine minutes of added time, and 11 were played, but a Danish equaliser never felt likely as Germany showed their class in seeing the game out.

With two wins from two, Germany top Group C will be assured of a quarter-final spot if Poland fail to beat Sweden. Anything but a Polish victory will eliminate Denmark.

GermanY look stretched all of a sudden and Harder carries the ball forward, but her cross is blocked and a second from Kramer straight at the goalkeeper.

Brand off, Zicai on for a major-tournament debut.

Denmark are being given the runaround as time ticks away.

Buhl slaloms through Danish defenders to produce a cross which is put behind. The ball is at the right end as far as Germany are concerned, and they can bleed more time off the clock.

The shot-stopper is ultimately going to continue, but it uses up more time before Germany take their corner and it's cleared.

As if to prove she's fine, Berger is then off her line quickly to get to a flick-on before Nadim.

There's hope for Denmark, but they have a corner to defend as Germany continue to dominate.

An overhit Wamser cross goes out for a Danish throw-in, but it's a good kick for territory. There's likely to be a lot of added time, but Germany are suffocating Denmark at the minute.

Nadim on for Veje, as Denmark trade a defender for a forward.

Buhl leaves a defender on the ground to burst into the box, but can't find the right cross and even an inventive flick from Hoffmann cannot test the goalkeeper.

Hendrich comes on for Knaak, who has been booked.

Berger abd Bruun chgallenge for a cross and Berge spills the ball, but is first to reacts and pounces on the ball before it ends up in the net.

Hoffmann heads narrowly wide after Linder crosses brilliantly from the left.

The attendance, 34,165, is a new record for a group-stage game not involving the host nation.

Hoffman and Freigang come on for Schuller and Dallmann.

Meanwhie, the referee requires treatment for a calf complaint, so the players will take a drinks break.

That is the question Denmark will ask. Snerle is showing signs of concussion and has to be helped off the pitch, to be replaced by Hasbo.

Germany played to the whistle and any complaints will likely fall at the referee's door, not theirs. It was a head injury.

A Denmark clearance hits Snerle in the face and falls to Germany. They play on against an understaffed Danish team, Brand slips in Schuller and she clinically scores with a first-time finish.
