The first half
Germany started brightly and took the lead in the fourth minute thanks to Schlotterbeck’s header from a corner but the referee ruled it out for an offensive foul. Three minutes later, Schmeichel had to fly to tip Kimmich’s long-range shot over the bar. Kroos took a corner and Schlotterbeck headed the ball, forcing the goalkeeper to make another save.
The Germans besieged the opposition defence and Schmeichel, who was once again a regular, saved a left-footed shot from Havertz in the 10th minute. In the 36th minute the referee temporarily stopped the game due to a violent storm that hit Dortmund. So the two teams returned to the dressing rooms, when the cold also set in. The meeting resumed after about 25 minutes of interruption. On his return, Schmeichel was immediately called upon to make another great save from a Havertz header. Finally, Neuer denied Hoglund’s effort at the end of a fast-paced second half.
the other half
At the beginning of the second half, referee Oliver canceled Andersen’s goal due to offside, after the VAR signal, and in the 5th minute, the same former Sampdoria defender intercepted Raum’s cross from the left side with his hand. The match director is called back to VAR and awards the penalty kick to the Germans. Havertz appears from the penalty spot and puts the ball into the corner to make it 1-0.
The Arsenal striker was unleashed and in the 14th minute he freed himself from two rivals with a high school trick and ran towards goal, but his dig at the outgoing Schmeichel ended wide. In the 21st minute, Hoglund crossed the ball with his left foot to make it 1-1, but Neuer again blocked his shot from a good position. A missed goal, a missed goal. Two minutes later, the Danish defense was surprised by a long throw from Schlotterbeck that evaded Musiala, who appeared in front of Schmeichel and beat him with his right foot, ending the final match 2-0. The result will not change anymore.
