Rare scenes came out. Denmark's goal was canceled due to a 1cm offside, and a handball PK allowed a goal.
Denmark lost 0-2 to Germany in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 at BVB Stadion Dortmund in Dortmund, Germany on the 30th (Korea time).
It was a complete defeat based on the score, but it was a close game. And two VARs were the winners and losers.
After the match, Danish coach Casper Hjulmand expressed strong dissatisfaction and criticized the decision.
The first half was a close game of 0-0. Denmark took the victory.
Joakim Andersen scored in the sixth minute of the second half, but he was declared offside. At that time, the 1cm attacker was ahead of the defender in VAR.
Immediately, Germany passed with Raum's cross. However, it passed by Andersen's arm. In the end, it was declared a penalty. Germany took the lead, and Jamal Musiala scored an additional goal in the 23rd minute of the second half to win.
Coach Hjulmand, who criticized the scene at the time, even showed pictures taken on his phone at an official press conference after the game, saying 'Two VAR decisions made the decision (to win or lose the game). It was 16 seconds at the critical moment.
At that time, Germany had 16 seconds to get PK after Denmark's first goal was found to be offside.
Coach Hjulmand said, `I don't talk about judgment if it's okay. However, this game was very decisive. Feel heavy. I'm disappointed. There is a 1cm offside judging photo, which is impossible to identify. The same goes for handball fouls.
Former PL player Dionne Dublin told the BBC that the 'handball decision was really bad' while former Wales captain Ashley Williams said 'You have to put your arms behind your back, which is ridiculous because it interferes with your defensive skills'.
