Euro 2024: Eriksen not enough, Slovenia blocks Denmark
The match in Stuttgart between Slovenia and Denmark, valid for the first day of Euro 2024 Group C, ended 1-1: Eriksen’s first-half goal was answered in the second half by Janza from a corner. It's the first draw in the competition: at 9 p.m. è the second match of the group, Serbia-England, is scheduled.
The first half was determined by the goal of Eriksen, who scored on 17' on an assist from Wind: for the Danish midfielder è it was the goal of liberation, three years after the illness suffered during Euro 2020 against Finland in Copenhagen. Slovenia fought back and created chances, but it was Eriksen again who came close to doubling the score before halftime when he sent it high from a close position.
In the second half, Slovenia accentuated the pressure, while Denmark è went into misery: Bijol and Sporar went within a whisker of an equalizer, which è came in any case at 77' thanks to Janza. On the development of a corner, the fullback è ventured on a rebound and kicked from outside the box: the shot fouled by a defender è ended up behind Schmeichel.
Kek’s lineup continued to press and in the final minutes the Danes went into trouble, although the last chance è came from Hjulmand’s team, with Poulsen and Dolberg late on a Norgaard cross. 1-1 at the triple whistle.
