Denmark 1, Slovenia 1: Eriksen scores in the second leg

Denmark and Slovenia shared the spoils in Stuttgart, with goals that neither national team will easily forget.

The first goal of the game came in the 17th minute, courtesy of Danish Eriksen, who scored from close range. The goal marked a triumphant return for Eriksen, who suffered cardiac arrest three years ago during Denmark’s 1-0 defeat to Finland in the pandemic-delayed Euro 2020. He returned to the game in February 2022 after receiving an implantable device to monitor his heart rate.

Denmark were in control for most of the game, but were inefficient in their chances, allowing Slovenia to get back into the game. A series of late chances led to Erik Janza’s 72nd-minute equalizer with a long-range shot from a dead ball. It was a great moment for the team, who returned to the Euros for the first time since 2000.

Netherlands 2, Poland 1: Weghorst rescues Holland

Wout Weghorst’s 83rd-minute goal secured the Netherlands’ three points in their opening Euro game, allowing his team to come from behind after going down early.

Poland, who were without striker Robert Lewandowski for much of the game due to injury, changed the Netherlands’ plans in the 16th minute, when Adam Buksa scored skillfully from a dead ball. It didn’t take long for the Dutch to level the score, with Cody Gakpo scoring from outside the box in the 29th minute.

The Dutch maintained an attack-first strategy and dominated for much of the match, with 70% possession of the ball and 21 shots. They wasted their chances, putting just four on the board – fewer than Poland, who kicked 12 but got seven on target.

Weghorst’s reputation as a super substitute served the Netherlands well and, just two minutes after coming on, the striker scored the go-ahead goal. The quick shot from close range was Weghorst’s first touch of the game and finally gave the Dutch the lead they had been looking for for almost 70 minutes.

What happened on Saturday?

Ten goals were scored in three games on Saturday, when the oddsmakers’ favorites won their matches in style. Switzerland achieved their first victory of the day by beating Hungary 3-1, while Spain defeated Croatia 3-0 in one of the most anticipated games of the group stage. The biggest surprise of the day, however, came when Albania scored just 23 seconds into the game against Italy. The advantage was short-lived: Italy equalized 10 minutes later through Alessandro Bastoni and, in the 16th minute, Nicolo Barrella scored the final goal of the game, giving the current champions a 2-1 victory.
