Slovenia vs Denmark [1-1] | All Goals & Extended Highlights | UEFA Euro 2024
Denmark and Slovenia draw 1-1 in Group C opener; Christian Eriksen opened scoring for the Danes on first Euros appearance since suffering a cardiac arrest in his country's opening game of the last tournament; Erik Janza’s deflected strike gave Slovenia point.
Erik Janza’s deflected late strike cancelled out Christian Eriksen’s early opener as Slovenia and Denmark played out a 1-1 draw in their Group C opener in Stuttgart.
The Danes took a 17th-minute lead after catching their opponents sleeping at a throw as Jonas Wind's clever flick found Eriksen in space in the box, and the Man Utd playmaker made no mistake with a crisp low finish into the corner past Jan Oblak.
The 32-year-old Eriksen, making his 132nd appearance for Denmark, ran the show in Stuttgart in the first half, exactly 1,100 days since suffering a cardiac arrest in his country's opening game of the previous Euros.
Both teams could, and should, have added to the scoreline in the second half, only for Oblak to deny Rasmus Hojlund with an excellent close-range sprawling stop, before Adam Gnezda Cerin somehow glanced a header wide of a gaping goal moments later.
However, after the previously quiet Benjamin Sesko had rattled the woodwork with a thumping 25-yard drive, Slovenia deservedly drew level 13 minutes from time when Janza tried his luck from the edge of the area, with his shot taking a big deflection off Morten Hjulmand to wrong-foot Kasper Schmeichel.
Denmark face England in their next Group C encounter in Frankfurt on Thursday with Slovenia taking on Serbia in Munich earlier that day.
