VAR overturns Dutch goal as Germany holds strong in tense match
Summary

In a heated contest, Germany faced the Netherlands on September 24. The Dutch thought they took an early lead when Virgil van Dijk scored from a corner after 13 minutes. However, the goal was disallowed following a VAR review due to a foul on German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen by Brian Brobbey. This incident reflected a similar challenge that had previously negated a German goal at the World Cup against Paraguay. Germany has had to weather a strong start from the Netherlands as they aim to find their rhythm in the match.
