- The victory came with controversy as Harry Kane's extra-time goal from a contentious penalty decided the match.
- Denmark feels a sense of injustice and determination as they prepare to face England again in Euro 2024.
England and Denmark have had several memorable contests over the years, including a high-scoring game in 1956 where Tommy Taylor scored a hat-trick for England. In a Euro 1980 qualifier in 1978, England won 4-3 with goals from Kevin Keegan, Bob Latchford, and Phil Neal. England also beat Denmark in the World Cup 2002 quarter-finals with goals from Rio Ferdinand, Michael Owen, and Emile Heskey. However, Denmark got their revenge in a friendly in 2005, winning 4-1 with a late goal from Soren Larsen. The two teams also faced each other in the semi-final of the Euros in 2021, with England winning in extra time thanks to a penalty converted by Harry Kane. Denmark's squad for Euro 2024 includes several players based in English football, including Christian Eriksen who returned to the Euros after a cardiac arrest. Danish manager Frank, who has Brentford players in the squad, expressed his support for both Denmark and England, considering England as his second team.
