Slovenia have levelled it up in Stuttgart in the 77th minute thanks to a fortunate deflection off a Danish player.

After dominating the opening spell of the game, Denmark put themselves in front after just 17 minutes thanks to a sweeping move which was calmly finished off by Christian Eriksen.

Benjamin Sesko spearheaded these attacks and almost found the back of the net with a stunning long-range strike that crashed off th post after a slight deflection.

From the resulting corner, Slovenia finally got their goal with Erik Janza’s ambitious long-range volley wrong footing Kasper Schmeichel.
