On June 26th, Beijing time, the third round of Group C of the Euro 2024 group stage ushered in a tense and intense duel between Denmark and Serbia, with the fate of the qualifying round at stake. The outcome of this match will directly determine the fate of both teams, so both sides are giving their best to win this crucial match.
With the referee's whistle, the match officially started. The Danish team, led by Eriksen, the core of the midfield, quickly started the attack. With his excellent ball control and vision, Eriksen kept creating offensive opportunities for his teammates. In the 21st minute of the game, Eriksen suddenly shot at the front of the penalty area, and the ball flew to the goal like a cannonball, but unfortunately, the Serbian goalkeeper bravely pounced on the bottom line, and the Danish team missed an excellent chance to break through the goal.
Just two minutes later, Eriksen made a comeback. He took a precise corner kick from the right and the ball arced beautifully in the air and flew straight to the goal. Wendt met the ball in front of the goal line and deflected it into the net. However, while the Danish fans were cheering, the slow-motion replay showed that the ball went out of the goal line first, and the goal was ruled invalid. The mood of Danish players and fans immediately fell to the bottom.
After the break, the game became more intense in the second half. Serbia sent a direct ball to Jovic, who quickly stepped forward to form a one-touch chance. However, just as Jovic was about to shoot, the Danish goalkeeper made a decisive move and blocked the ball. Jovic was not to be denied, and quickly passed the ball to the goal, where a Danish player inadvertently blocked the ball into his own goal. However, just when the Serbian fans thought they had a goal, the VAR video assistant referee ruled that Jovic was in an offside position when he received the ball, and the goal was also disallowed.
As the game progressed, both players' fitness gradually decreased, but the intensity of the game did not decrease at all. Eriksson again opened the right corner to the penalty area, Vest at the back point of the high header, but unfortunately the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper. Shortly after, Serbia's Mitrovic also tried a low shot from a small angle on the left side of the box, but the ball went slightly wide of the post.
After 90 minutes of intense fighting, both players were exhausted. In the end, Denmark and Serbia shook hands with a score of 0-0.
