Highlight Denmark held England to a draw
Denmark understood that the match against England (June 20) would have a big impact on the Nordic team's competition for a ticket to the round of 16, because in the first match they only got one point. Coach Hjulmand's team entered the game quickly, ready to play close and high to compete for the ball with England. After the first few minutes of unimpressive play, England suddenly opened the score in the 18th minute, Walker quietly stole the ball right in front of Kristiansen's toes, the Danish full-back was too subjective and lost the ball. Walker's cross then hit two Danish players and flew right to Kane's position and the English striker easily finished close to the goal to score. Kane scored an easy goal against Denmark. With the goal, England retreated to play defensive counter-attack, forcing Denmark to push up. However, playing offensively was also what Denmark wanted, with an energetic midfield, Denmark caused many difficulties for England's defense system. In the 34th minute, Hjulmand fired a shot from a distance that hit the inside of the left post and bounced into the net, equalizing 1-1. In the remaining minutes of the first half, Denmark was still better than England but they could not take the lead. In the first half of the second half, England attacked strongly, especially when the ball went through the toes of Saka or Foden. In the 55th minute, Foden shot from a distance that hit the post and bounced out. Denmark played fair with England. In the second half, coach Southgate replaced the entire attack line and the new players did not play as well as those who had played from the start, so England's attacking play was quite lackluster. As for Denmark, this team was very active in shooting from afar, even shooting more than England. If the Nordic players had shot better, they would have scored more goals. Neither side scored, meaning the draw remained and each team got one point. England had 4 points, topping Group C, followed by Slovenia, Denmark with 2 points and Serbia at the bottom with 1 point. In the final round, England faced Slovenia, Denmark met Seria.
