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.

Germany's Berger 'living best life' after Euros shootout heroics
Ann-Katrin Berger is on top of the world after her saves on Saturday helped send Germany past France and into the semi-finals of Women's Euro 2025. Berger, a two-time survivor of thyroid cancer, saved Alice Sombath's penalty to decide the shootout 6-5 in Germany's favour after a gruelling match ended 1-1 after extra time. The 34-year-old also stopped France's first penalty from Amel Majri and kept the scores level in the first half of extra time with an astonishing stop to make sure Janina Minge didn't knock Germany out with an own goal. "I feel like I'm not a really emotional person, I'm glad I'm here and I'm glad that I have the team I have. Obviously the time here just makes me proud to be here," Berger told reporters. "Whatever happened in 2022 is in the past and I'm looking forward to it now, to the future. For me, now I live my best life and I'm in the semi-final." In the last four, Germany will face world champions Spain in Zurich on Wednesday. td/rcw
