Germany eying Euro 2025 quarterfinals after coming from behind to beat Denmark 2-1
Germany, the eight-time winner, needed to come from behind after Amalie Vangsgaard scored against the run of play for Denmark in the 26th.
VAR calls had gone against the favorites until referee Catarina Ferreira Campos awarded a penalty for Katrine Veje's 53rd-minute foul on Linda Dallmann.
Sjoeke Nüsken stayed cool to equalize from the spot, and Jule Brandt set up Schüller to sweep in the winner in the 66th. Brandt had scored and set up Schüller for the other goal in Germany's opening 2-0 win over Poland.
There was a brief hold-up later while the referee received treatment for an apparent right leg injury, shortly after Denmark's Emma Snerle had to go off after being hit in the face by a powerful shot.
The win moved Germany to six points from two games in Group C, enough to reach the quarterfinals if Poland doesn't beat Sweden in the late game. Sweden was on three points after beating Denmark 1-0 in their opening game, while Poland was looking for its first points of the tournament.
Germany is looking for its first major title since winning its eighth European Championship in 2013. It went close at the last edition, losing to host England 2-1 after extra time in the 2022 final.

Disasi spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa. Unai Emery's Villans have decided against making the former Monaco centre-back's move at Villa Park a permanent one. Disasi is not even included in the Blues' profiles on Chelsea's website. RMC Sport understands that Villarreal and Juventus FC have made initial enquiries over the France international. Disasi has made clear he would rather remain in the Premier League, if the opportunity presented itself. The report adds that Newcastle United are monitoring Disasi's situation. Newcastle would reportedly not hesitate to sign a centre-back, given the added fixtures of at least eight Champions League games, and that Disasi is among the Magpies' targets. GFFN | Bastien Cheval
