Denmark and Slovenia share the points

Group C is one of those groups where it can pretty much go every single way. England seems to be the main favourite to win this group, but Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia all will feel they can finish in second place behind England. That’s why the importance is high for matches where the Three Lions aren’t involved in. This first match of the group between Denmark and Slovenia is one where the winner will feel they’ve got a good chance to at least finish in third place in this group. With four out of six numbers three qualifying for the knockout stages a win in this match will almost mean a ticket for the next round.

Young strikers duel

This match was seen as a nice match-up between two young strikers. Man United striker Hojlund for Denmark and RB Leipzig striker Sesko for Slovenia. The first goal of this match wasn’t scored by a young talent, but by an old veteran. It was Christian Eriksen who put Denmark ahead in the match. A very special goal for him and his country. The last time Eriksen played a Euro match he dropped down with heart failure. Now he’s scoring the 1-0 after 17 minutes. The Danish team kept dominating possession, but they failed to score another goal in the remainder of the first half. With a 1-0 lead there is everything to play for in the second half.

First draw on the board

Nothing changed much in the second half. Until Slovenian defender Erik Janza scored with a deflected shot from outside the box. Bringing the score to 1-1 in the 77th minute, there was roughly 15 minutes to go to find a winner. Even though both teams tried, it was never likely we got a winner from this match. On the third day of Euro 2024, after 5 matches being played, the sixth match was the first draw of this tournament. Both teams need to step up in the next two matches to qualify for the knockout stages.
