Explained: The crazy way Slovenia & Denmark were separated in Euro 2024 Group C after teams finish on identical records

Denmark have beaten Slovenia to second place in Group C, behind England, despite the two teams finishing level on points and goal difference at Euro 2024. Both Denmark and Slovenia ended the group stage with three points and identical records after achieving three draws, with two goals scored and two conceded. The two teams also played out a 1-1 draw when they met, meaning there was nothing to separate the two sides at the competition.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Denmark eventually ended up finishing second as it was left to discipline to determine which team finished ahead of the other. Both nations also received the same number of yellow cards on their respective playing squads, but UEFA have now confirmed that Denmark finished second because of a booking given to Slovenia assistant coach Novakovic Milivoje.

THE EXPLANATION

Slovenia's third-placed finish is still enough to go through, with the team into the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time ever.

DID YOU KNOW?

Denmark may have gone through in second place but are now set to face hosts Germany in the last 16, while Slovenia will also face a tricky draw and could come up against Portugal or the winners of Group E. England are set to play on Sunday but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/england-euro-2024-last-16-permutations/blt2d3b22c2898223b6" target="_blank">must wait to discover their next opponents</a>.
