Kai Havertz missed a golden chance to punish goalkeeper Unai Simon’s mistake on the day the German team lost to Spain.

Facing rival Spain in the quarterfinals of EURO 2024, the German team bombarded “La Furia Roja” goal 23 times. However, only 5 shots of “Die Mannschaft” put the ball on target.

The home team’s attack had an ineffective day and Kai Havertz was no exception. The Arsenal star missed 4 opportunities to score, the most unfortunate was the situation that took place in the 82nd minute.

Originating from goalkeeper Unai Simon’s passing error, an opportunity to score opened up for Havertz. Number 7 “Die Mannschaft” decided to press the ball over the head of the opposing guard, but the ball flew over the crossbar out of bounds.

Havertz’s disastrous shot reminded many fans of Danny Welbeck, the striker who often chose to press the ball as a finishing option but did not achieve high accuracy.

In the first half of the match against Spain, the Arsenal player also had a shot towards Unai Simon’s goal. However, the shot lacked power and had no specific intention, so it could not be converted into a goal.

Kai Havertz is the first player to reach 10 shots on target at EURO 2024. However, Germany’s number 7 only brought in 2 goals. Both goals of players born in 1999 were scored on penalty kicks.

Havertz also only achieved a passing accuracy rate of 77.3% last night. The “Gunners” pillar had to leave the field to make way for Waldemar Anton in the 89th minute and closed the EURO 2024 finals with 2 goals and 1 assist.
