Kai Havertz started Germany for third straight at Euro 2024 and 49th overall in Sunday’s 1-1 tie with Switzerland.

When Robert Andrich struck a twisting shot over Yann Sommer in the 17th minute, Germany believed they had the lead; unfortunately, VAR intervened due to a foul by Jamal Musiala.

Moments later, Switzerland led when Dan Ndoye raised the ball high into the net after Remo Freuler crossed.

Though Ruben Vargas of Switzerland scored late on, the flag was raised for offside before Havertz crossed the bar at the other end.

Germany’s tenacity paid off in the second minute of extra time when substitute Niclas Fullkrug headed back across goal from David Raum’s cross for 1-1.

Germany was placed top in Group A and Switzerland second. One of the four best third-placed teams, Scotland was eliminated following a late 1-0 loss to Hungary; yet, it can still progress to the knockout stages.

Played on Saturday, June 29 at 8 p.m. BST against the Group C runners-up, Germany’s round of 16 game might feature England, Denmark, Slovenia, or Serbia.
