The hosts picked up a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/germany-denmark-euro-2024-player-ratings-kai-havertz-jamal-musiala-var/blte6a7d5fbfbf09e4d" target="_blank">2-0 win over Denmark</a> courtesy of second-half goals from Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala to book their berth in the quarter-final stage. The closely fought encounter witnessed several controversial refereeing decisions that affected both sides.

WHAT HAPPENED?

While Denmark boss <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/denmark-boss-kasper-hjulmand-laments-var-following-euro-2024-last-16-defeat-to-germany/blt7b4a56282e28544e" target="_blank">Kasper Hjulmand expressed his displeasure</a> over Joachim Andersen's cancelled goal and his handball that resulted in Havertz breaking the deadlock, Nagelsmann called the Premier League match officials - Michael Oliver, Stuart Burt and Dan Cook - 'picky' for disallowing Nico Schlotterbeck's fifth-minute strike.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking to reporters, the former Bayern Munich boss said, "It was a bizarre game somehow. The first 25 minutes were our best of the tournament. We scored what I thought was a normal goal, but the referee was very picky with his whistle. Small blocks like that happen in every corner, it wasn't anything dramatic. Then we had the rain delay and changed things around a bit."We showed some play during the break because we wanted to get behind their defence quicker. We're really good, we saw that in the first 20 minutes. We had to put up with a lot of resistance today. We need to be more patient and wait for our moments."
