England’s Euro 2024 campaign took a stumble yesterday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by a determined Denmark side. The result leaves manager Gareth Southgate facing questions about his team’s attacking prowess and overall chances in the tournament.

Denmark started brightly, with Højbjerg forcing Pickford into an early save. England responded through Foden, whose curling effort sailed just wide. Harry Kane, however, provided the breakthrough in the 18th minute, capitalizing on a defensive error to put England ahead.

Despite the setback, Denmark refused to buckle. They equalized through a wonder strike from Hjulmand, who pounced on a Kane mistake to unleash a powerful shot past Pickford.The Danes continued to impress with their passing and attacking intent, nearly snatching the lead before halftime.

The second half saw a similar pattern emerge. England struggled to impose themselves on the game, with Foden’s powerful shot hitting the post their best chance.Southgate shuffled his pack with substitutions, but Denmark remained the more dangerous side. Højbjerg again came close with a curling effort, while Watkins spurned a late chance for England.

The draw leaves England in a precarious position in Group C. While they remain unbeaten, Denmark’s impressive performance raises doubts about their ability to compete with the stronger teams in the tournament.

Denmark, on the other hand, will be confident heading into their next match against Serbia, knowing a win would put them in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages.
