England wins their Group C match with a draw and Denmark is held to a draw by Serbia in Euro 2024.

In the final round of group play, England maintained their position at the top of Group C despite a goalless draw against a determined Slovenia team. Meanwhile, Denmark secured second place after a draw with eliminated Serbia.

Slovenia came into the match with a strong motivation to advance to the knockout stage, knowing that even just one point would be enough. On the other hand, the Three Lions had already secured their spot. Benjamin Sesko of Slovenia had the first clear opportunity of the game, testing England's goalkeeper Jordan Pickford with a powerful header in the fifth minute, as reported by Xinhua.

However, it was England who came to life midway through the first half. They thought they had taken the lead through Bukayo Saka, but unfortunately, the goal was disallowed for offside. Harry Kane also posed a threat towards the end of the first half, narrowly missing a header from Kieran Trippier's dangerous cross into the box.

In the second half, England continued to control possession but struggled to break through Slovenia's strong defense. Despite their efforts, Slovenia held on and earned a crucial point that kept their Euro campaign alive. "We wanted to finish at the top of the group and have control over our own destiny. It was a tough match, but we improved compared to our last game. We had possession, but we couldn't convert our chances in the final third," said Kane.

England's coach Gareth Southgate also acknowledged their dominance in the game, saying, "We were the better team and dominated. We had many opportunities to win, but we lacked the finishing touch."

In the other Group C match, Denmark was unable to score against Serbia, but their goalless draw was enough to secure their place in the knockout stage as the runner-up. With these results, England finished at the top of the group with five points, followed by Denmark, Slovenia, and Serbia.

The top two teams from each of the six groups, along with the best four third-place finishers, will advance to the round-of-16 knockout stage. England and Denmark will now eagerly await their opponents in the next round, while Slovenia and Serbia will exit the tournament.
