 Denmark Hold England to a 1-1 Draw in Euro 2024 Thriller

England's quest to secure early qualification for the Euro 2024 knockout stages was thwarted in Frankfurt on Thursday, June 20th, as Denmark held them to a thrilling 1-1 draw.

England Strike First

Gareth Southgate's men started strong, replicating the attacking fluency they displayed in their opening win against Serbia. A driving run from Kyle Walker down the right flank created the first opportunity. His whipped cross took a deflection off Danish defender Andreas Christensen, falling perfectly for England captain Harry Kane, who slotted the ball home with his left foot to put England 1-0 up.

Denmark Respond with a Screamer

Denmark refused to crumble and grew into the game as the half progressed. Their attacking pressure finally paid off in spectacular fashion just before halftime. Morten Hjulmand unleashed a thunderous strike from outside the box that arrowed past England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, sending the Danish fans into a frenzy.

Second Half Stalemate

The second half was a tighter affair, with both teams cancelling each other out in midfield. England lacked the creativity to unlock the Danish defense, while Denmark struggled to create clear-cut opportunities themselves. Chances were at a premium, with both sides settling for a share of the spoils.

Key Points:

  • A deflected cross led to Harry Kane's opening goal for England.
  • A stunning long-range effort by Morten Hjulmand equalized for Denmark just before halftime.
  • The second half was a tactical battle with few clear-cut chances.
  • The draw leaves both teams needing a positive result in their final group games to secure qualification.

Looking Ahead:

England will need to improve their attacking performance if they want to progress further in the tournament. Denmark, meanwhile, have shown their resilience and will be confident of causing an upset in their remaining fixtures.

  The scorching heat wave in India has rocked the nation as Delhi, the capital territory, recorded a blazing temperature that could potentially be the highest ever seen in the country. Initial reports indicated a temperature of 52.9 degrees Celsius (126.1 degrees Fahrenheit) in a substation in Mungeshpur, a locality in Delhi. While officials noted this reading as an outlier and potentially influenced by sensor issues, if validated, it would stand as the highest temperature ever recorded in India. Situated in the northwest, Delhi houses nearly 30 million residents within its 600 square miles. The Indian Meteorological Department flagged the Mungeshpur reading for review, suspecting a sensor malfunction or data error. Throughout Delhi, other substations reported temperatures ranging from 45.2 to 49.1 degrees Celsius, roughly equivalent to 113 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
