Watch the Denmark vs Serbia match live as Group C of the European Championship nears its conclusion.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll make you less so.
Denmark have secured their spot in the last 16 of the tournament with a draw. This means that they will be guaranteed to be one of the best third-place finishers. However, their final position in the group is still up in the air and will depend on the outcome of the other match.
If Denmark manage to secure a draw and England win their match, Denmark will finish in second place. This would be a great achievement for the Danish team and would give them a boost of confidence heading into the knockout stages.
On the other hand, if both matches end in a draw, the second-place finish will be decided based on goals scored. Whichever team is involved in the higher-scoring draw will move on to the next round. This adds an extra layer of excitement and tension to the final group stage matches.
In the event that there is no difference in goals scored, fairplay points will come into play to break the tie. This means that the team with the better disciplinary record throughout the tournament will advance. It’s a reminder that not only skill and tactics matter, but also fair play and sportsmanship.
And if, by some chance, fairplay points are also level, Denmark will progress to the next round as they are the higher-ranked team. This would be a bitter disappointment for England, who have high hopes for this tournament.
So, as we approach the final group stage matches, the stakes are high for both Denmark and England. The outcome of these matches will determine their fate in the tournament. It’s a nail-biting finish that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.
