a free kick open the scoring and that goal will be one of the stories of this or any other European Championship Slovenia nil Denmark nil ball Force to Erikson with his right foot on the half volley fantastic goal for Denmark and what a moment for Christian Erikson who three years ago in Copenhagen admitted he thought he' almost gone from this world well he's right here right now runs under the ball finishes for Denmark and celebrates a superb goal Slovenia nil Denmark one do thing this time in the EUR my story is very different compared to to last time which obviously is a is a big thing for me uh personally but obviously it's been a luckily it's been a lot of games since the last time and since that happened so uh that hasn't changed um so like also interview it before like I felt confident going into the game uh and confident in playing again so in that sense I was just happy to back playing and obviously qualifying for her is was special for for your country I did have in mind that I hadn't scored that Euros uh so obviously that was on my mind but nothing else than than football was on my mind so really just happy to help the team with the first goal but uh yeah obviously in the end there would have been a different story if we had the three points we would also be a lot happier and a lot more confident but I think it's was a wake up call for us to go into the next game that was Christian Erikson speaking after scoring Denmark's opening goal at Euro 2024 had on the edge of the Serbian penalty area and and that's it the final whistle goes here in gon kirken and England do get their opening win thanks to Jude bellingham's early headed goal what a struggle it was in the second half Serbia showed what they are made of but England yet again are able to start with a win just like they have now in all four of Gareth Southgate tournaments as the England manager in the the previous three the opening win has proved to be the spring board that has taken them far into the tournament but Matt hson what do you all right all right all right people it's all over here siia New England one guys your people hard for victory here for the to on of England like that and uh yeah Jude Bellingham with the only goal that has after that has given the victory here for England but guys it was a never ending n never ending there because Serbia came out in the second half as a total different side guys the mount pressure the force goalkeeper P for to make some brilliant saves like that and yeah guys so England were forced to defend you know they defended for their lives and the duck deep in that second half and yeah eventually they they're Victorious here which is what is needed guys was it was just a day this is the opening match you have to win it by any means know it doesn't matter how you're going to win it how you're going to do it but you just have to get get the three points here and that is what England did tonight guys it wasn't pretty it wasn't U a great uh football or like dominance from England uh but they at least got the three points here guys which is what what matters they actually started on a front foot you know like the opening the opening 10 minutes I think England were the better side yeah deated tempo of the game and then J Bingham scored in the 1 minute of play from that bukayo sakas deflected cross like that and uh yeah from there I think sa gow into the game you know Serbia grew into the game and uh caused England lots of problems in the second half you know like that but anyway England also had the moments they had the moments to win the game hurricane hitting the crossbar with the powerful header from a back post like that uh it was Tri Tri that cross like that and yeah guys so whatever the case guys Serbia at least they they have given England a game here you know because it was really a close ftic game of football here uh but then guys just the quality the extra quality that England has was just difference you know the quality of Saka and Birmingham you know was there that produced that go for England and yeah that won it guys I want that won it here one new and then shout out to goke keeper pford for making some brilliant saes also towards the end of the of the match guys because it was a nervy nervy nervy ending in in in this one guys in the Euros opener here for the Three Lions of England but anyway guys that is it here somek football I brought to you re on time scores re on time stats play byplay ball movement here on my fulltime match reaction for this one so fulltime coming in here Euro 2024 Opening match for England and Serbia here it is Serbia near England one guys thanks for tuning in some footb here I'm out and I'm going to see you on the next one bye for now
