Danes through after eliminating Serbia, England top as Slovenia stay

Denmark and Slovenia joined group winners England in qualifying for the Euro 2024 last 16 from a turgid Group C on Tuesday, where Serbia ended up the fall guys.

Denmark drew 0-0 with Serbia to eliminate the bottom side and snatch second spot from Slovenia, who also played out the goalless stalemate with England they needed to go through as one of the four-best third-placed teams.

England, who had already qualified for the last 16, finished top of the group but it was another dour performance from the pre-tournament favourites.

Only one game at these Euros had previously ended 0-0. Group C finished up with just seven goals in total, fewer than hosts Germany netted themselves in the group stage.

England will play a third-placed side from Groups D, E or F on Sunday while Denmark face hosts Germany on Saturday. Slovenia, who have never won a game at a Euros, must wait to have their opponents confirmed but look set to meet Portugal.
