Eriksen and Hojlund eliminated by ruthless Germany

Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund bid farewell to Euro 2024 on Saturday evening, as their valiant Denmark team were beaten 2-0 by Germany in Dortmund.

Hojlund was a threat throughout the 80 minutes he spent on the pitch, while Eriksen played the entirety of the round-of-16 tie.

The game swung on 60 dramatic seconds after the interval, when the Danes thought they had taken the lead through Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen swiping home following a series of deflections in the Germany box.

However, after an agonising delay, VAR recommended an offside decision against Thomas Delaney in the build-up.
