Jansa's long-range goal gave Slovenia, who had returned to the European Championship stage for the first time in 24 years, a valuable point. However, they also continued the curse of never winning the European Championship and never beating Denmark!

This is Slovenia's second appearance at the European Championships, its first since 2000, and its first appearance at an international tournament since the 2010 World Cup.

Slovenia are unbeaten in five matches in 2024, with three wins and two draws, as well as a 2-0 win over Portugal, which has given Slovenia confidence.

It is worth mentioning that in this European Championship qualifiers, the two teams were divided into the same group, home and away met twice, and Slovenia drew one and lost one. Facing Denmark again, Slovenian coach Koke said: "It's very important for a country like ours with a weak player base to build a strong and convicted squad. We are not seen as favourites, we are seen as outsiders. ”

Perhaps due to a lack of experience in the tournament, Slovenia's first half was rather lackluster, with just three shots on goal, all from outside the box. However, relying on their physical superiority, Slovenia gradually took the initiative and created an increasing threat from Cerin's 68th-minute header that went wide.

Just one minute after Sesko fired from distance at the post, Jansa scored his first goal of the tournament with a long-range shot. In the end, Slovenia drew with Denmark, which was also the first draw of this European Championship.

After the draw with Denmark, Slovenia continued their two curses. First of all, Slovenia continued the curse of the European Championship winless, with only 3 draws and 1 loss in 4 games in the two European Championships in 24 years. In Euro 2020, Slovenia, which played for the first time, only scored 2 draws and 1 loss.

Secondly, Slovenia continued the curse of never beating Denmark in their history, with only two draws and four defeats in seven meetings against Denmark since 1 September 1996.

However, this 1 point gave Slovenia hope of qualifying for the knockout stage for the first time in their history. In the next two group games, Slovenia's goal is to defeat Serbia and get their first win in European Championship history.

If they get four points from two games, then Slovenia have a good chance of qualifying, and in the final round against England, Slovenia may have no desire.
