Euro 2024: We won Germany – Anderson slams VAR after Denmark’s 2-0 defeat

Denmark defender Joacjim Anderson has slammed the officiating of their game against Germany that saw the team off to a 2-0 defeat.

The defender criticized the harsh penalty call against him which led to his country’s defeat.

The video assistant referee stole the headlines in Dortmund, with the Crystal Palace defender seeing a goal chalked off and a harsh penalty awarded against him as the host progressed for the quarter-final.

Kai Havertz scored from the spot as they conceded another goal to Jamal Musiala.

Anderson, while addressing the press after the game, slammed the decision to award the penalty against him.

He said, according to EuroFoot, “It was crazy and not a penalty at all. I can’t run around with my arms behind my back and play football.

“He’s half a metre away from me and hits the ball on my hand, so I can’t see what I could do to prevent it.

“The offside call is also difficult to see. It’s so minimal that you really have to look for it. But the handball call is the craziest I’ve ever seen. Margins decided the game. If our goal had been allowed, I’m convinced we would have won the game.”
