Denmark finished second in Group C by virtue of having a better disciplinary record than Slovenia after dull draw with Serbia. Neither side produced a performance that reflected their potential, but Denmark were the better team in a forgettable encounter in Munich.
Denmark progressed to the knockout stages of Euro 2024 after a goalless draw with Serbia on Tuesday (Jun 25) which allowed them to seal second spot in Group C, ahead of third-place Slovenia on disciplinary record.
The 0-0 stalemate finished with the same scoreline as England and Slovenia's parallel group match, with England emerging group winners.
With Denmark and Slovenia both finishing on the same points total and goal tally, second place – and a meeting with hosts Germany – was decided on the basis of total yellow cards so far at the tournament.
It is Denmark who edged it and will face Germany in Dortmund, while England will return to Gelsenkirchen for a meeting with a third-placed side.
Slovenia will take on a group winner while Serbia were eliminated after finishing last.
