Denmark beat Slovenia 2-1 at home in the early morning of Saturday (18th) in the top match of Group H of the Europa League qualifying round, even though they were without injured Manchester United striker Hai Shen, and gained the qualification for the final round one round earlier. Together with Albania in Group E, there are now 13 teams out of 24 in the final week.
Denmark opened the scoring with a goal by Mishli, and although Slovenia equalized once, midfielder Thomas Dilani made a great contribution in the second half to beat the opponent 2-1, 4 points ahead of the 3rd place Kazakh, and even if they lose to Northern Ireland in the last game, they will be able to get enough points to go out of the top 2 places. Slovenia's next match at home against Kazakhstan will be a do-or-die game for both sides.
In addition, Group E Albania's away match against Moldova is 1-1, and another match in the same group, Poland's home match against Czech Republic is also 1-1, so Albania is sure to win the right to go out of the group, and the 3rd Czech Republic can go out of the group by playing a home match against Moldova.
