Christian Eriksen’s Late Winner Seals Victory for Denmark Over Sweden in Pre-Euro Friendly
Christian Eriksen‘s brilliance shone once again as his stunning late winner secured a 2-1 victory for Denmark over Sweden in an electrifying pre-Euro 2024 friendly at the packed Parken stadium.
The match kicked off with Denmark swiftly breaking the deadlock within minutes, with Christian Eriksen orchestrating a clever corner routine that led to Simon Kjaer scoring at the near post.
Sweden responded rapidly through a goal from Alexander Isak after he capitalized on a loose ball from Dejan Kulusevski’s attempt, beating Kasper Schmeichel in the Danish goal.
Christian Eriksen’s dramatic return to form culminated in a magical 86th-minute goal, a curling and dipping strike that handed the Danes a well-deserved victory in a fiercely contested encounter.
The Swedish national team, under the guidance of Danish coach Jon Dahl Tomasson, put up a solid defensive display but struggled to break down the Danish backline, with Isak and Kulusevski finding little room to maneuver.
Denmark’s head coach Kasper Hjulmand acknowledged Tomasson’s influence on the Swedish team, praising their aggressive style of play and defensive resilience throughout the match.
Christian Eriksen expressed satisfaction with his contributions to the team, highlighting the importance of his assist for the opening goal as a key moment in the match.
Denmark will conclude their preparations for Euro 2024 with a home fixture against Norway before heading to Germany, where they are set to face Spain, Italy, and Poland in Group C.
