22′
Strahinja Pavlovic clearance!! The ball that Christian Eriksen pumps towards the far post is taken out by the Red Bull Salzburg defender.

Erikseeeeeeeeeen!! What an opportunity for Denmark!! A Serbia loss in their own half causes the Manchester United player to attempt a distant shot that Rajkovic deflects with his hand. Press the ‘red dynamite’!

13′
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s jump prevents Lazar Samardzic’s hit from outside the area.
12′
Christian Eriksen looks for his position on the field where he can contribute more, now lying on the left profile to form a line of three with Jonas Wind on the right and Rasmus Hojlund as the spearhead. The Manchester United player is participating little in this start.
eleven’
The percentage of possession of the ‘red dynamite’ exceeds 65%. Monologue with a ball by the group directed by Kasper Hjulmand.
9′
The bet of the ‘white eagles’ in their offensive football is more about temporizing to attract rivals and seeking direct play against Aleksandar Mitrovic. It is not a comfortable game for the Al-Hilal forward, who has to fight alone against a line of three large centre-backs.
7′
Serbia seeks to nullify the short pass of the center backs on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg or Morten Hjulmand by setting up a line of three in the pressure that stifles the interior corridor. The pressure becomes intense every time they go down to support circulation.
6′
In that sense, it is the Danish team that tries to be the protagonist with the ball, with the three centre-backs having a lot of weight in the distribution.
5′
Jonas Wind is offering himself as a resource to stretch the team, going down meters to receive from his back and unload facing a teammate to continue the game.
4′

1′
There are no surprises in Kasper Hjulmand’s drawing, which proposes a system that gives width with some very open wingers with a lot of height, serving the ball with the three center backs and going down to receive Huljmand or Hojbjerg. Without Victor Kristiansen, Joakim Maehle appears on the left wing.
THE MATCH STARTS AT THE ALLIANZ ARENA!!!!! Jonas Wind gets the ball rolling in Munich!!
We already have the two countries on the grass! The national anthems are playing now! This is about to start! Are you going to miss it?
The referee François Letexier, assisted on the wings by his compatriots Cyril Mugnier and Mehdi Rahmouni and with the Lithuanian Donatas Rumsas as the fourth referee, will be in charge of dispensing justice. The Frenchman has been an international referee since 2016. He will be assisted in the VAR by the German Bastian Dankert.
The ‘white eagles’ have gone seven games without winning in major international tournaments, including Euro 2024, the 2022 World Cup and the 2018 World Cup, earning two draws and five defeats during this period. The last time they won was against Costa Rica in Russia 2018 (0-1).
The ‘red dynamite’ has drawn a draw in the first two games of Euro 2024 (1-1 against Slovenia and 1-1 against England), the same as the previous 18 games of this great international tournament (W6 L10).
After Montenegro declared its independence and debuted as an independent team in August 2006, the Balkan team has lost seven of the eleven games it has played in the major international tournaments it has played in (the 2010, 2018 and 2022 World Cups and the European Championship. 2024).
Since the international window started in June 2023, the Danish team has only lost one of the 14 games it has played during this period. The only rival that has been able to beat them was Northern Ireland (2-0) in the qualifying matches in November 2023.
The Scandinavians have had plenty of wins against the ‘white eagles’ since they became an independent country: 3-0 in a friendly in March 2022, 2-0 in June 2015 and 1-3 in November 2014 during the qualifying matches for the Euro 2016.
It is the first time that both countries have met in the final phase of a major international tournament. The only two confrontations they have had throughout history have occurred in the qualifying phases for Euro 2016, with the ‘red dynamite’ winning the double confrontation (2-0 in Copenhagen and 1-3 in Belgrade).
DUSAN VLAHOVIC AND SERGEJ MILINKOVIC-SAVIC ARE STAYING ON THE BENCH!!!!! Dragan Stojkovic seeks order and balance looking for a much more dominant team, populating the midfield with the return to the eleven of Nemanja Gudelj and the commitment to Lazar Samardzic. The absence due to injury of Filip Kostic forces the Serbian coach to continue looking for alternatives, turning today to Srdjan Mijailovic.
HJULMAND TOUCHES THE DEFENSIVE LINE!!! The Danish coach continues to make moves on the wings of his three centre-back defence, resting Victor Kristiansen after playing the first two games and returning Alexander Bah to the eleven after remaining on the bench against England.
For his part, Dragan Stojkovic will start with the following eleven players (5-2-3): Predrag Rajkovic – Srdjan Mijailovic, Milos Veljkovic, Nikola Milenkovic, Strahinja Pavlovic, Andrija Zivkovic – Ivan Ilic, Nemanja Gudelj – Lazard Samardzic, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Sasa Lukic.
We already have the confirmed starting elevens!! Kasper Hjulmand puts the following lineup into contention (5-3-2): Kasper Schmeichel – Alexander Bah, Joachim Andersen, Jannik Vestergaard, Andreas Christensen, Joakim Maehle – Morten Hjulmand, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Christian Eriksen – Jonas Wind and Rasmus Hojlund .
Overcoming the group stage would be another step in the trajectory of a country whose last participation in a European Championship was as part of Yugoslavia in Belgium and Netherlands 2000, being defeated by the Dutch team in the quarterfinals in Rotterdam (6-1 ).
With one point out of six possible, Serbia faces the last game of the group as bottom… but with options to continue its adventure in Germany in the knockout round. Dragan Stojkovic’s team does not depend on itself, needing to beat Denmark and hope that England win or draw in their duel against Slovenia.
After surprising reaching the semifinals at Euro 2020 and reaching the round of 16 at Russia 2018, the Scandinavian team needs to lick its wounds after the failure in Qatar 2022 with a qualification for Germany 2024.
After drawing a draw against Slovenia and England in the first two rounds of the group, Denmark’s goal of reaching the round of 16 is to beat Serbia on the third day. If not, the Danish team would depend on achieving a draw and waiting for the result of Slovenia against England, where the second and third places in the group would be shared by different criteria.
The Allianz Arena in Munich puts at stake the three points that both Denmark and Serbia need to mathematically certify their place in the round of 16. Both are separated by a single point in the group and do not yet know victory in Germany after the first two dates.
Good night Everybody!! Welcome to the broadcast of this match between the Danish football team and the Serbian football team, corresponding to the third and final day of Group C of UEFA Euro 2024. We start with the preview of the match (9:00 p.m. )!
