Denmark progressed to the knockout stages of Euro 2024 from Group C ahead of Slovenia in an incredibly close finish. Both teams ended the group stage with identical records: points, goal difference, goals scored, and even yellow cards accumulated by players.
The deciding factor, confirmed by UEFA, came down to disciplinary action. A yellow card issued to Slovenia's assistant coach, Milivoje Novaković, tipped the scales in Denmark's favor according to UEFA's Fair Play regulations. These regulations prioritize fewer yellow and red cards for teams when all other tiebreakers are exhausted.
Denmark's Group C Matches:
* June 5th: Denmark 2 - 1 Sweden
* June 8th: Denmark 3 - 1 Norway
* June 16th: Slovenia 1 - 1 Denmark
* June 20th: Denmark 1 - 1 England
* June 25th: Denmark 0 - 0 Serbia
