Havertz started the scoring in a tense last-16 match held in Dortmund. The game was interrupted in the first half due to a thunderstorm and halted again in the second half when a masked individual climbed onto the rafters. Germany, needing momentum after Joachim Andersen’s goal was controversially disallowed, quickly responded by winning a penalty under disputed circumstances, which Havertz calmly converted.

Jamal Musiala added a second goal for Germany, securing a comfortable path to the quarter-finals on home soil. Havertz has excelled throughout the tournament, contributing both goals and assists in Germany’s emphatic 5-1 victory over Scotland.

Reflecting on the match, Havertz expressed gratitude on Instagram, saying, “Danke Dortmund! Tough game with a big result and a huge privilege to make my 50th appearance.”

Germany now awaits the winner between Spain and Georgia in the last 16, raising the possibility of a rematch of the Euro 2008 final, where Spain emerged victorious with a 1-0 scoreline.
