Slovenia 1-1 Denmark: Janza salvages share of the spoils in Group C opener

Erik Janza s strike saw Slovenia hit back against Denmark to secure a 1-1 draw in the opening Group C game at Euro 2024.

Janza hammered home via a deflection in the 77th minute to restore parity, cancelling out Christian Eriksen s well-taken opener.

Slovenia s equaliser came moments after Benjamin Sesko, who is reportedly catching the eye of some of Europe s biggest clubs, had struck the woodwork with a fierce long-range attempt.

That was one of just two shots Sesko managed all game, with Denmark having largely managed to keep the striker under wraps.

The Danes were fantastic all-round in the first half, with Eriksen pulling the strings in midfield and brilliantly putting them ahead when he latched onto Jonas Wind s deft touch in the 17th minute.

Yet Slovenia s pressure finally told after a series of missed opportunities, with the sides sharing the spoils at Stuttgart Arena.

32y123d Christian Eriksen (32 years and 123 days) is the third-oldest player to ever score for Denmark at a major tournament, and the oldest to do so at the EUROs. Heart.
