Denmark reach Euro 2024 Last-16 after goalless draw with Serbia

Denmark’s third tie in the competition ensured their progression to the next round, as they ended up in second place in the group, despite having several chances to score a victory. They will face Germany, the host country, in the last-16 round in Dortmund on Saturday. Both teams had their goals nullified during the entire duration of the play. Denmark’s endeavor was thwarted when Eriksen’s corner went beyond the boundaries. Meanwhile, Serbia’s Luka Jovic was ruled offside after scoring the goal.

In order to advance, Serbia required a victory. Consequently, they displayed strong defensive tactics, although encountered difficulties in generating scoring chances for their experienced forward, Aleksandar Mitrovic, who made numerous fruitless appeals for a penalty. Denmark exerted control over the first half by maintaining the majority of ball possession. Eriksen’s attempt was thwarted by Serbia’s goalkeeper, Predrag Rajkovic, while Rasmus Hojlund failed to capitalize on Denmark’s most promising opportunity due to a perceived slip during his effort.

on the latter part of the game, Serbian coach Dragan Stojkovic brought on Dusan Tadic and Luka Jovic to enhance the offensive pressure. Nevertheless, the alterations did not yield favorable results. Denmark will now prioritize its forthcoming match against Germany in the knockout stage of the competition.
