Euro 2024
In a Group C opener at the Euro 2024 tournament in Stuttgart, Slovenia and Denmark played out a 1-1 draw. Christian Eriksen’s early strike gave Denmark the lead, but a late deflected effort from Erik Janza ensured the points were shared.
Eriksen, making his 131st appearance for Denmark, opened the scoring in the 17th minute, calmly slotting home after being played in by Jonas Wind. The Manchester United playmaker dominated the first half, showcasing his class just over 1,100 days since his cardiac arrest at the previous Euros.
