Slovenia Remain Winless Against Denmark, Eriksen Returns with a Bang
Eriksen's Goal Propels Denmark to Victory
Slovenia's Winless Streak Continues
WEB Slovenia remains winless in seven matches against Denmark after a 2-0 defeat on Tuesday. The Danes had a glorious chance to double their advantage 65 minutes in when Rasmus Højlund broke through on goal, but his shot was saved by Jan Oblak. However, they eventually sealed the victory in the 81st minute when Eriksen converted a penalty after a handball by Jaka Bijol.
Eriksen's Impressive Return
Eriksen, who suffered a cardiac arrest at the European Championship last summer, has made a remarkable recovery and marked his return to the international stage with a goal. The midfielder, who now plays for Manchester United, said this week that it had been his goal to return to the highest level, and he has certainly done that with an impressive performance against Slovenia.
Slovenia's Missed Opportunities
Slovenia had their chances to get back into the game, but they failed to take them. Benjamin Verbic had a good chance in the first half, but he headed wide under pressure from Christian Norgaard. And in the second half, Josip Iličić was denied by Kasper Schmeichel from close range.
Conclusion
Denmark's victory over Slovenia keeps them in contention for a place in the UEFA EURO 2024 finals. Slovenia, meanwhile, remains winless in the competition and will need to improve their performance if they want to qualify for the tournament.
