The Denmark manager, Kasper Hjulmand was unhappy with decisions in the defat by Germany, saying: “This is not how football is meant to be’

Denmark had been well in the game against Germany and thought they had taken the lead when Joachim Andersen converted three minutes after half-time. But the goal was disallowed by VAR for a fractional offside against Thomas Delaney and, almost immediately afterwards, Andersen was penalised for a harsh handball picked up by the video officials. They could not find a way back after Kai Havertz scored the penalty, Jamal Musiala confirming Germany’s progress.

“It’s frustrating for our team. Being 1-0 in front would have changed everything. In my opinion this is not how football is meant to be.” The game was delayed in the first half by an electric storm that saw the sides leave the field for 25 minutes. Hjulmand was head coach at Nordsjælland in 2009 when a player, Jonathan Richter, was hit by lightning during a reserve match. Richter had the lower part of his left leg amputated after being put in an induced coma.
