England faced Denmark in a crucial EURO 2024 Group C match at the Deutsche Bank Park on Thursday evening. After a narrow victory against Serbia in their previous match, the Three Lions needed a strong performance to secure a spot in the Round of 16. However, Denmark held them to a 1-1 draw, with the Danes having more shots on goal.
Conservative Approach Hurt England
Despite having a talented squad, England struggled to dominate Denmark. Manager Gareth Southgate couldn’t find a way to unlock his team’s full potential, leading to a lackluster performance. The early goal by Harry Kane was canceled out by Denmark’s Morten Hjulmand, highlighting England’s defensive weaknesses.
In the second half, both teams had chances to take the lead, but the match ended in a draw. Southgate’s substitutions, including bringing on Ollie Watkins, failed to provide the desired impact. The absence of players like Cole Palmer and Kobbie Mainoo may have hindered England’s attacking options.
