EM Qualification: Denmark Narrowly Avoids Embarrassment in San Marino, Hungary Misses EM Match Ball

Denmark narrowly averted a significant upset in San Marino during the European Championship qualifiers. Yussuf Poulsen, representing RB Leipzig, found the net in the 70th minute, securing a 2-1 (1-0) victory in the minuscule state. On the other hand, Hungary rallied from a 2-0 deficit to salvage a 2-2 draw against Lithuania, but their early qualification for the 2024 European Championship in Germany remained elusive. Meanwhile, Slovenia is just one more win away from securing a spot in the finals.

A total of nine of the 24 finalists have been selected. Denmark, the semifinalists in 2021, and Slovenia are almost through.

The Danes are level on points with the Slovenians (1-0 in Northern Ireland) at the top of Group H after a meager 2-1 (1-0) in San Marino, thanks in part to goal scorer Yussuf Poulsen of RB Leipzig (70th minute). ManUtd attacker Rasmus Höjlund had put the weak Danes in the lead (42.).

For San Marino, the intermediate equalizer by Alessandro Golinucci (61st) was the first goal in this European Championship qualifier (goal difference 1:26). The last time San Marino scored in a competitive match was in September 2021 (in a 1:7 loss to Poland in World Cup qualifying).

Denmark and Slovenia need just one win from their remaining two Group H games. Finland, which is still participating in the 2021 European Championship, disappointed with a 1:2 (1:0) win at home against Kazakhstan and can no longer qualify for Germany via the European Championship qualifiers.

HUNGARY MISSES OUT ON HOME WIN

All matches on Tuesday were preceded by a minute's silence. UEFA decided to do so in memory of "all members of the European soccer family who have been killed in recent days in Europe and Israel."

On Monday evening, a gun attack in the Belgian capital had caused consternation, killing two Swedish citizens. The scene was just five kilometers from the stadium where Belgium was facing Sweden at the time. The match was abandoned at half-time.

In an unexpected turn of events, Hungary missed a crucial opportunity to secure their spot in the European Championship with a 2-2 (0-2) draw against Lithuania. A victory in this match would have marked the third consecutive European Championship appearance for Italian coach Marco Rossi's team, featuring Roland Sallai from SC Freiburg as the sole Bundesliga player in the starting lineup.
