After the victory over Serbia, coach Gareth Southgate decided to keep the same starting lineup. Facing Denmark, England showed initiative and controlled the situation well in the first 15 minutes. Due to a mistake by defender Victor Kristiansen, the “Three Lions” scored the opening goal.

In the 18th minute, Kyle Walker took the opportunity to run down before making an assist for Harry Kane to score. Taking advantage, England proactively played defense and waited for a chance to counterattack. However, the Danish team suddenly equalized after midfielder Morten Hjulmand’s dangerous long-range shot.

In the second half, England increased the tempo in search of a second goal. The first dangerous situation came in the 55th minute, when Phil Foden fired a shot from outside the box that hit the post. In the remaining time, coach Gareth Southgate made many changes.
Jarrod Bowen, Eberechi Eze and Ollie Watkins were brought onto the field to improve the attack. However, the Danish team appeared to be more focused and regulated the tempo better. In addition to the opening goal, England’s stars almost disappeared before the solid defense of the Danish team.

Even the Danish team threatened Jordan Pickford’s goal many times, but Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Yussuf Poulsen were both unlucky. In the end, the two teams shared the points with a 1-1 draw. With this result, the English team still cannot be sure of advancing to Group C of EURO 2024.
