Hosts Germany take on Denmark looking to book their spot in the quarterfinals and keep their dream of lifting a major trophy on home soil alive.
Both teams head into the knockout stages unbeaten, although unlike the Germans, who scored five goals against Scotland in their opener, finding the net has been a concern for Denmark so far.
The only previous knockout-stage tie between these two nations came in final of Euro 1992, which Denmark won 2-0. Let’s see how today’s match plays out with plenty at stake once again.
The Sporting News is following Germany vs. Denmark live, providing score updates, commentary and highlights as they happen.

35 mins: The game has been briefly stopped as thunder and lightning surround the stadium.
31 mins: Hojlund and Eriksen stand over the free-kick but it’s the latter who hits it right at the wall and it’s a waste.
24 mins: Denmark appear to have weathered the initial storm and have seen more of the ball in the last five or ten minutes. There were four red shirts in the box but Maehle tries an audacious attempt from a tight angle it’s fired wide.
21 mins: Eriksen’s touch is exquisite to take him past Rudiger but the German defender recovers well and makes the block.
16 mins: Kroos’ free-kick hits the wall.
13 mins: Musiala’s trickery gets the better of two Denmark defenders but he drags his effort wide.
11 mins: Andrich gets head to the ball and he’s wide open but he finds the goalkeeper’s hands. Should have done better.
10 mins: Rudiger’s long ball over the top finds Havertz who attempts a Robin Van Persie style volley but Schmeichel parries it out for a corner.
7 mins: Kimmich lets rip from distance but Schmeichel makes a good save.
5 mins: The replays showed that Kimmich blocked Olsen who was marking Schlotterbeck and that’s why the referee called the foul.
3 mins: Germany have the ball in the back of the net but it’s ruled out for offside. Schlotterback heads home but Michael Oliver saw a foul in the box.
1 min: We’ve kicked off in Dortmund!
5 mins to kickoff: The national anthems are complete and kickoff is next…
15 mins to kickoff: There are three Borussia Dortmund players in the Germany squad who will take the pitch at their club’s home stadium, but only one of them — Nico Schlotterbeck — is in the starting lineup. We’ll likely see Nicolas Fullkrug off the bench in the second half, while Emre Can’s appearance as a substitute would likely mean Germany are winning the match.

30 mins to kickoff: Denmark duo Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen are playing together at the club and international level, but they’ll have a present waiting for them when they return to Old Trafford for the coming Premier League season. It appears that Dutch legend Ruud van Nistelrooy will join Erik ten Hag’s backroom staff as an assistant.
Hojlund is already a starter at the international level and seems to have improved in his time with the English club, but could he be the man to take the young Danish striker to the next level? Germany may be glad to face Denmark before Hojlund links up with the Dutch coach instead of after.
🚨🔴 Exclusive story confirmed: Man United will add Ruud van Nistelrooy and René Hake from Go Ahead Eagles to their new backroom staff.
Erik ten Hag will sign new contract in the next days, all agreed and 100% done as revealed earlier this week. ✍🏻

45 mins to kickoff: He’s in his swansong, but Toni Kroos appears to have so much more left in the tank. Kroos has been a passing wizard his entire career, but this summer has even ramped it up another notch, completing the most passes by a single player across an entire Euro group stage in the history of the competition, beating his own record from 2016.
324 – Most successful passes by a player in a UEFA EURO group stage:
324 – Toni Kroos (EURO 2024)
323 – Toni Kroos (EURO 2016)
317 – Xavi (EURO 2012)
281 – Granit Xhaka (EURO 2016)
280 – Toni Kroos (EURO 2020)

1 hour to kickoff: Lineups are in, and amidst reports that Kai Havertz would be dropped in favour of Nicolas Fullkrug, the Arsenal man remains in the XI! Instead, it’s Florian Wirtz who surprisingly drops out of the lineup with Leroy Sane brought in, while David Raum takes over at left-back and Nico Schlotterbeck slots in at center-back for the suspended Jonathan Tah.
The only wrinkle for Denmark is the inclusion of Andreas Olsen alongside Christian Eriksen behind striker Rasmus Hojlund, with Kasper Dolberg sacrificed.
1 hour 30 mins to kickoff: The biggest question for Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann today is whether to stay with Kai Havertz up front or replace him with Nicolas Fullkrug. There have been calls to drop Havertz, especially given Fullkrug’s form, but Nagelsmann hinted that he’s happy with the Arsenal man up front in the role he’s asked to play.
“Kai comes off much worse in the public assessment,” the German manager said before today’s match. “He has a clear job in many games, which means that he doesn’t have many ball actions because he should create space for others. He did that exceptionally well. In the internal assessment, Kai is ranked much higher than in the public.”
Germany news today
– Antonio Rüdiger should be OK to play
– Nico Schlotterbeck to fill in for suspended Jonathan Tah
– Tendency is for Schlotterbeck’s BVB teammate Niclas Füllkrug to begin the game with Kai Havertz starting on the bench.#GERDEN

2 hours before kickoff: Hello, and welcome to The Sporting News’ live coverage of Germany vs. Denmark. The knockout stages are officially here and Denmark will be out to spoil the party for the Germans on home soil. Can they do so? We’ll soon find out!
What time is Germany vs. Denmark kickoff?
This Euro 2024 match kicks off at Westfalentstadion in Dortmund on Saturday, June 29 at 9 p.m. local time in Germany.
Here’s how that time translates across some of the major territories around the globe:

Germany vs. Denmark lineups, team news
Niclas Fullkrug’s equaliser against Switzerland was his second goal in just 76 minutes on the field at Euro 2024 and a 13th in 19 caps, but it wasn’t enough to displace Kai Havertz at the striker position despite playing at the Dortmund man’s home ground. Instead, Florian Wirtz was dropped with Leroy Sane comingon.
Antonio Rudiger returned to training on Friday following a thigh complaint and retains his place in the starting XI, with Nico Schlotterbeck the man to replace a suspended Jonathan Tah.
Germany starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Neuer (GK) — Kimmich, Rudiger, Schlotterbeck, Raum — Kroos, Andrich — Musiala, Gundogan, Sane — Havertz.
Denmark boss Kasper Hjulmand must do without his namesake Morten Hjulmand in midfield after he joined Tah in accumulating three group-stage bookings. Thomas Delaney has recovered from illness and is the most likely replacement.
A stomach bug for Christian Eriksen disrupted preparations as the experienced playmaker missed training on Friday and travelled separately to Dortmund for Friday’s stadium walkaround. However, the Manchester United player is fit enough to start at the weekend. He will have some help as Andreas Olsen starts alongside him in a creative position behind Rasmus Hojlund, with no room for either Jonas Wind and Kasper Dolberg.
Denmark starting lineup (3-4-1-2): Schmeichel (GK) — Andersen, Christensen, Vestergaard — Bah, Hojbjerg, Delaney, Maehle — Olsen, Eriksen — Hojlund.
