New Delhi: England were stunned by a wonderful long range strike by Morten Hjulmand who spoiled their England’s early qualification to the next round. The opening 15 minutes were dominated by England, but ever since the first goal was scored by Harry kane, the Danish looked threatening, showing great spirit and playing some good football. The Danes played with some real intent and made England look like the second best team and eventually were rewarded in the 34th minute of the game with a wonderful goal from Hjulmand
The Danish team showed wonderful urgency to draw level and from that moment, they never hit the brakes as they constantly threatened the the English defence with full intent.

Morten Hjulmand just scored a worldie against the English side who concede the first group stage goal since the Euros 2016 group stages. The last they conceded was a back on 16th June in a group stage match against Wales, with Gareth Bale scoring the goal from a freekick. This was a remarkable record held by the English which also suggests a fact that England are unbeaten in group stages since 2016 Euros. Not only the goal from Hjulmand broke England’s eight year long run, but it also denied them them the three points and also an early qualification to the knockout stages.

Rasmus Hojlund isn’t having the best time wearing the Denmark’s jersey scoring just once in the last year. The 23-year-old Danish striker scored his last goal back in October 2023 against San Marino, which also proves that he needs to do a lot better in front of the goal for his national side. However the fans have high expectations from Hojlund as he has a lot to prove and considering the fact that he has shown a lot of promise but the striker needs to up his game respond better.
Kane’s involvement looks concerning for England

Harry Kane without a doubt has established himself as one of the most lethal strikers of this generation. However, his performances in the previous match against Serbia looked a little concerning as the the English superstar only had 24 overall touches, while having just one touch in the opposition box. The veteran striker scored 44 goals in all competitions in his firt season with Bayern Munich which raised the already high expectations of the English fans for this Euro campaign. However, in this match he had just 22 touches, lesser than what he had against Serbia, but scored a goal.
Denmark become the first team to score a goal against England in the Euro group stages since 2016 campaign to spoil their qualification party. Football Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
