In the early morning of June 17, England defeated Serbia 1-0 in the first match of Group C, EURO 2024 Finals.

In the 13th minute, Bukayo Saka escaped down the right wing, before hanging the ball just in time for Jude Bellingham to jump high and head the ball powerfully, giving the Serbian goalkeeper no chance to block.

In the second half, England continued to play slowly, causing fans to experience moments of anxiety. In the 60th minute, "Three Lions" fans were shocked when they saw Kieran Trippier push Mitrovic from behind. The incident happened in the penalty area but the referee refused to refer to the slow-motion video.

It wasn't until the 77th minute that Kane made his first mark. The English striker's header was quite dangerous, but goalkeeper Dragovic still managed to push the ball against the crossbar, saving Serbia.

In the 83rd minute, Serbia responded with a long-range shot from Vlahovic. Pickford had to show all his skills to help England avoid conceding a goal. The match ended with a minimal victory for coach Southgate and his team.

Thus, in this match, England won 3 points to take the lead in Group C, above Denmark and Slovenia (both with 1 point). In the second match, England will face Denmark, while Slovenia will meet Serbia.

The Danish team started the game better with confident passing. Thanks to good control of the midfield, they quickly pushed up the formation, put pressure on the opponent and created opportunities.

After a 15-minute deficit, Slovenia settled down and started to attack. However, after the first chance from Benjamin Sesko's dangerous long-range shot, Slovenia conceded a goal in the opponent's response.

The Danish players executed a quick throw-in combination before the opponents had time to set up their defense. Jonas Wind touched the ball with his heel to set up Christian Eriksen to open the scoring in the 18th minute.

In the second half, Slovenia's efforts helped them equalize in the 77th minute. Less than a minute after the regretful moment when Sesko's long-range shot hit the post, Slovenia scored. Erik Janza's long-range shot hit the Danish defender and changed direction, leaving goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel completely helpless.

Slovenia's equalizer added to the excitement of the final minutes. Both teams played aggressively, clearly determined to score and take all three points. However, neither team could achieve their goal and the match ended in a draw.

Score:

Denmark: Eriksen (17')

Slovenia: Erik Janza (77')
