Denmark Secures Convincing Win Over Norway In Euro 2024 Warm-Up

Erling Haaland found the net, but Norway fell 3-1 to Denmark as the latter wrapped up their Euro 2024 preparations. Pierre-Emile Hojberg opened the scoring for the hosts in Brondby on Saturday, drilling home with a powerful right-footed effort in the 12th minute. Defender Jannik Vestergaard added a second nine minutes later, heading home Andreas Skov Olsen's corner kick.

Manchester City star Haaland thought he had reduced the deficit in the 65th minute, only to see his effort ruled out after a VAR review. However, he did score seven minutes later, finishing from Martin Odegaard's intricate pass. Yet, Denmark restored their two-goal advantage in stoppage time through Youseff Poulsen.

Elsewhere, Denmark's Group C opponents Serbia secured an impressive 3-0 victory over Sweden in Stockholm. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic gave the Eagles an early advantage at the Friends Arena. Captain Aleksandr Mitrovic scored his 58th international goal on the hour mark, and Dusan Tadic rounded off the scoring 10 minutes later with a fine finish beyond Robin Olsen.

Serbia will face England, who lost to Iceland on Friday, in their opening match at Euro 2024.

Hungary also won by the same scoreline in Debrecen. A rampant 11-minute flurry was enough to secure a comfortable victory. Barnabas Varga teed up Roland Sallai for the opening goal of the game and then scored twice in quick succession. First, he finished from close range before Sallai turned provider for his team-mate to conclude the contest.

Switzerland and Austria Share Spoils

Switzerland and Austria played out a 1-1 draw at the Kybunpark. Christoph Baumgartner saw his fifth-minute strike cancelled out by defender Silvan Widmer.
