England got their quest for a first major tournament title in 58 years off to a winning start as Jude Bellingham's header was enough
England's midfielder #10 Jude Bellinghamduring the UEFA Euro 2024 Group C football match between Serbia and England at the Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen on June 16, 2024.
Christian Eriksen enjoyed a fairytale return to the European Championship, three years after suffering a cardiac arrest on the pitch, by scoring the opening goal, but Denmark were held 1-1 by Slovenia. “I feel like in every game I can make an impact. I can decide a game. It’s a release for me to play football, it’s my favourite thing in the world, so I don’t feel any pressure when I go out there.”And he capped a brilliant individual display with the only goal when he headed in Bukayo Saka’s deflected cross on 13 minutes.But England were forced to see out a nervy finale as Jordan Pickford turned over Dusan Vlahovic’s dipping drive before Kane headed away Veljko Birmancevic’s goalbound shot.
It was the Poland supporters whose voices echoed around the Volksparkstadion when Adam Buksa headed their team in front early on, but Cody Gakpo levelled an entertaining encounter before the half-hour mark with the aid of a deflection. Earlier, police shot and injured a man who threatened them with an axe and a Molotov cocktail in Hamburg before kick-off, although a police spokesman said there was no indication the incident was linked to the game.
