Euro 2024: Joachim Andersen ruled offside by VAR after scoring vs Germany, concedes penalty for Denmark following review moments later

Crystal Palace's Danish defender Joachim Anderson went from hero to zero in a matter or moments for his country in their 2-0 Euro 2024 Round of 16 defeat to Germany on Saturday (June 29) in Dortmund. The defender saw his luck turn terribly in a few moments. First, his 48th-minute strike was ruled out for offside, if that was not bad enough, he conceded a penalty moments later, which put his side behind.

Anderson was impressive in the first half, keeping things tight and helping the Danes maintain parity with the hosts at half-time. Sadly, the Euro 2024 hosts turned the screw and eventually sealed a comfortable win.

The Palace defender conceded a penalty after he was adjudged by English referee Michael Oliver to have handled David Raum's cross. The penalty was duly converted by Kai Havertz to give the hosts the lead and send the BVB stadium into raptures.

The unfortunate defender also got booked in the 57th minute to limit his ability to influence the game in any meaningful capacity as the last line of defence.

The Palace star will be disappointed with the penalty he conceded, especially as he was having a good game before the incident. He completed 85 percent of his passes and won half of his aerial duels.
