Denmark defender Joachim Andersen suffers double VAR nightmare as his goal is disallowed against Germany and he then concedes a penalty just minutes later

Denmark defender Joachim Andersen suffered a double VAR nightmare during his side's Euro 2024 last-16 clash with Germany.

Andersen thought he had put Denmark in front but his goal was ruled out for offside.

Shortly afterwards, there was further agony for Andersen as he conceded a penalty for an alleged handball.

Kai Havertz stepped up to take the penalty and managed to find the net.  

One user wrote on X that it was a 'heartbreaking couple of minutes for Joachim Andersen.'

Former Norwegian player Jan Age Fjortoft stated that the penalty shouldn't have been given against Andersen.

Fjortoft wrote: 'The handball - rule is so not good! There is no way Andersen did that on purpose !!!!'.

Another user added: 'Andersen’s last five minutes has perfectly encapsulated life as a Crystal Palace fan.'

In addition, one user stated that Andersen had been 'so unlucky'. They wrote: 'From scoring a goal to giving away a penalty. That is so unlucky Joachim Andersen.'

Another user stated that the situation involving Andersen was 'brutal'. They wrote: 'Andersen getting a goal ruled off by VAR and then VAR giving Germany a penalty after it hit his arm is BRUTAL.'
