Havertz was one of the three players to miss a penalty, as they lost 4-3 in the shoot-out, after the match ended 1-1 in regulation time.

Julio Enciso opened the scoring in the last-32 fixture, before Havertz headed in the equalizer.

The Arsenal man stepped up for the first penalty kick and saw his effort saved comfortably.

Nick Woltemade’s effort was also saved, before Jonathan Tah blazed over.

I’m speechless. My second World Cup, and we’ve messed up for the second time,” Havertz told reporters.

“The last few tournaments were a disaster. The only thing I can say is I’m sorry.

“We players need to take a long, hard look at ourselves. We’re playing for a huge country with a rich football history.”
