Euro 2024 Insights: England's Solid Defense, Eriksen's Historic Goal, Weghorst's Swift Strike

England secured a 1-0 victory against Serbia in their Group C match, with Jude Bellingham scoring the only goal. Bellingham became the second player ever to score at both the World Cup and Euros before turning 21. England's defense held strong, keeping a clean sheet and extending their record to five consecutive clean sheets in group stage matches at the European Championships.

Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made a crucial save to preserve the win. England's Harry Kane had a header tipped onto the crossbar. The game featured the lowest number of shots in a Euros game on record, with just 11 attempts.

In the Slovenia vs Denmark match, Christian Eriksen scored his first goal at the Euros and became the oldest Dane to score for the nation in the tournament. Eriksen created seven chances from set plays, the most by a player in a game at the Euros since 1992. Despite Eriksen's performance, Denmark could only manage a 1-1 draw against Slovenia.

Erik Janza scored the equalizer for Slovenia, with all three of his international goals coming in competitive fixtures and two against Denmark. Kasper Schmeichel became the second oldest player to play for Denmark at the European Championship finals and the oldest goalkeeper. Slovenia has yet to win a match at the Euros, while Denmark had all 10 of their outfield starters record a shot, a rare occurrence in the competition.

The Netherlands defeated Poland 2-1, with Wout Weghorst scoring the winning goal just two minutes after coming off the bench. Weghorst's goal was the fastest by a Netherlands substitute at the Euros. Cody Gakpo had earlier equalized for the Netherlands.

Poland took the lead through Adam Buska, who became the fourth player from Poland to score on their debut at the European Championships. The Netherlands had 21 shots, their most in a major tournament game since 2012, but only managed 1.47 expected goals.
