Slovenia vs Denmark LIVE: Euro 2024 score and latest updates as Erik Janza scores equaliser after emotional Christian Eriksen goal


Scotland fans pack Munich bar ahead of Euros opener against hosts Germany

Denmark and Slovenia kick off their Euro 2024 campaigns in Stuttgart. England’s Group C rivals will hope to bank early points in the battle to advance to the knock-out stages with games against the Three Lions to come next week.

SURE ODDS BANNER

Talisman Christian Eriksen suffered a heart attack in their Euro 2020 opener against Finland but would make a successful return to the game several months later and Kasper Hjulmand believes the Manchester United midfielder can inspire his team in Germany.

“He has something you can’t train yourself to do, he has a fantastic ability to see the game and find a rhythm,” Hjulmand told broadcaster DR. “I have often said, paradoxically, that he is our heart, he is the pulse of our team.”

Slovenia 1-1 Denmark, 84 minutes

A triple substitution for Denmark. Both strikers are removed – Yussuf Poulsen and Kasper Dolberg on for Rasmus Hojlund and Jonas Wind – while the fresh legs of Christian Norgaard are required in midfield. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is the other man replaced.

Suddenly, Slovenia look like favourites. They are some leggy Danes out there, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg laboured in midfield and Jannik Vestergaard ghosted past by Andraz Sporar. His effort clips the fingers of Kasper Schmiechel and buries itself in the side netting. Denmark look nervy.

GOAL! SLOVENIA 1-1 Denmark (Erik Janza, 78 minutes)

But that one finds the back of the net!

Slovenia are level! The corner is half cleared to Erik Janza, arriving from the left and leathering his laces through the bouncing ball. It ruffles the rump of Morten Hjulmand, diverting it beyond a wrong-footed Kasper Schmiechel to square affairs in Stuttgart!

Off the woodwork! An amazing effort from Benjamin Sesko deflects against the post. So nearly…

1718559219

Slovenia 0-1 Denmark, 75 minutes

A double change for Slovenia. On come Jan Gorenc Stankovic and Zan Celar for Timi Max Elsnik and Jan Malakar.

Slovenia 0-1 Denmark, 74 minutes

It should have been! How has Andraz Sporar missed?

A brilliant ball from Erik Janza bends beautifully beyond the Denmark defensive line, and Sporar looks to have the simple job of diverting it home. But it’s a meaty connection, off ankle or shin rather than his pointed boot, and away it flies with Kasper Schmiechel not even required to save it.

1718559050

Slovenia 0-1 Denmark, 73 minutes

Another Slovenian change or two look to be imminent as they look to open this game up again. Benjamin Sesko is fouled by Joachim Andersen, tumbling backwards with the Crystal Palace defender clawing at his shoulders. Might this be their chance?

1718558882

Slovenia 0-1 Denmark, 70 minutes

An increasingly frustrated Slovenia coaching staff make their point a little too vociferously to the fourth official, prompting a visit (and a yellow card) from referee Sandro Schafer.

On the pitch, meanwhile, Denmark draw a corner with a promising forward foray. It’s an inviting cross, but Jonas Wind mistimes his jump and heads over the top.

1718558674

Slovenia 0-1 Denmark, 67 minutes

A first switch from Matjaz Kek: on comes Benjamin Verbic for Petar Stojanovic, offering a little bit of extra attacking capability out wide.

1718558582

Slovenia 0-1 Denmark, 65 minutes

Kept out by Jan Oblak! A top save from the vastly experienced keeper, such a good shot-stopper for so long at Atletico Madrid. A ball in from the left arcs on to a sliding Rasmus Hojlund’s toe, but Oblak spreads himself superbly, eventually taking Hojlund’s tap in the abdomen before smothering it clear.
