The score was opened by Denmark in the 17th minute of the opening stage. Hojlund received a throw-in inside the area and heeled it to Eriksen, who dominated with his chest and shot a cross into Oblak’s right corner.
Slovenia almost scored in the 3rd minute of the second half. Benjamin Sesko moved to his right leg, cut the marker inside the area and shot hard, high, but the ball hit the post.
In the 32nd minute of the second half, Slovenia scored the equalizer. After a corner kick, the ball was poorly cleared by the Danish defense and Erik Janza finished first, with his left leg, from the edge of the area. The ball deflected off Hjulmand and killed goalkeeper Schmeichel.
