Slovenia vs Denmark LIVE: Euro 2024 latest score and updates

Scotland fans pack Munich bar ahead of Euros opener against hosts Germany

Denmark and Slovenia kick off their Euro 2024 campaigns in Stuttgart. England’s Group C rivals will hope to bank early points in the battle to advance to the knock-out stages with games against the Three Lions to come next week.

Talisman Christian Eriksen suffered a heart attack in their Euro 2020 opener against Finland but would make a successful return to the game several months later and Kasper Hjulmand believes the Manchester United midfielder can inspire his team in Germany.

“He has something you can’t train yourself to do, he has a fantastic ability to see the game and find a rhythm,” Hjulmand told broadcaster DR. “I have often said, paradoxically, that he is our heart, he is the pulse of our team.”

Slovenia 0-1 Denmark, 54 minutes

A first caution of the match, the yellow card shown rather harshly to Petar Stojanovic after he trips Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. Stojanovic doesn’t look best pleased, marching back and spitting at the floor.

And the free kick nearly results in an own goal! Andreas Christensen flicks it into the chest of the defender beyond him, and Jan Oblak is motionless as he watches it go a yard or so past his post.

Slovenia 0-1 Denmark, 52 minutes

Another long throw causes chaos in the Denmark box. The ball eventually ricochets away, but the Swiss referee Sandro Scharer brings us to a halt after a chirp in his ear from VAR Fedayi San. Quickly cleared and on we go, but those hurls look like they might just bring joy for Slovenia at some stage.

Slovenia 0-1 Denmark, 50 minutes

Almost an equaliser! Erik Janza launches a long throw in the general direction of Kasper Schmiechel, who stays on his line even as it lands inside his six-yard box. Andraz Sporar is therefore favourite for it, the striker having got the run on Jannik Vestergaard, but he can’t make contact!

Slovenia 0-1 Denmark, 48 minutes

Rasmus Hojlund and Vanja Drkusic have enjoyed their battle today, each man giving the other plenty of physicality. The Slovenia defender slides in firmly on the Denmark striker, who bumps him with his shoulder when they next interact.

No half-time changes, it would appear.

Second half…

I don’t think Matjaz Kek was a particularly happy man after that first half. His side haven’t done too badly defensively but they must surely be looking for more threat going forward. Can they get Benjamin Sesko more involved?

HT: Slovenia 0-1 Denmark

A half highlighted by a beautiful goal and a beautiful moment that has Denmark deservedly in front. We anticipated that they would dominate possession in Stuttgart, and Slovenia have not been able to disrupt them. It had to be Christian Eriksen to get the goal, the midfielder breaking into the box to latch on to a clever flick for a Jonas Wind-assisted opener.

Clear sightings of Jan Oblak’s net have been relatively few and far between since, but Denmark will be content as they munch on their oranges.

Slovenia 0-1 Denmark, 45 minutes

Into one additional minute at the end of the half…

…which passes without notable incident.

1718556231

Slovenia 0-1 Denmark, 43 minutes

A poor miss from Christian Eriksen! The Denmark midfielder throws his head back in frustration having lifted his effort like a Jonny Wilkinson drop goal. A bobbling ball, a lean back as he strikes – you’d have expected better…
