In the finale of Group C of the UEFA Europa League, Denmark and Serbia engaged in a fight to the death. Although Serbia had the last laugh, their offense still struggled to hold off Denmark's counterattacks. It's worth noting that the recent matches against Serbia have made Denmark's defense look sturdier, and they came out on top.
Serbian scorer suffers dud
Let's focus on the Group C standings. Denmark and Slovenia are tied with 2 points, 2 points behind leader England, while Serbia has only 1 point. Despite the stiff competition, Serbia is in the most dire situation. If they want to fight for the third place, they have to get at least 2 points in today's game, otherwise their chances will be very slim. Therefore, this win is crucial for Serbia. However, they are not dominant in high altitude bombing and only collected one goal in the first two rounds, especially in the last round. The Brothers Soldiers might have had a chance to make up time against Slovenia with a 1-1 draw. However, strikers such as Dusin Huahovi and Aleksandar Mizunovi seem to have forgotten their shooting skills. When the firepower is lacking, they should be more aggressive in attacking instead of being overpowered by their opponents.
Meanwhile, Denmark had a 1-1 record in the first two rounds of the tournament, but they were not discouraged by the deficit against England, and managed to suppress the Three Lions' offense, eventually losing by only one goal. Denmark has more experience than Serbia, which is making its Euro debut. The Scandinavian team managed to advance to the quarterfinals in their last match, not to mention the fact that both sides have shown their strength by scoring at least two goals in the last three matches in Denmark.
