It was the big day for Žan Vipotnikone of the two Girondins de Bordeaux players with Zuriko Davitashvilito participate in Euro 2024. Indeed, Slovenia faced Denmark at 6 p.m. for its entry into the competition.
Slovenia is part of Group C of this Euro, with Denmark, but also Serbia, and one of the favorites, England.
For this first match, the Bordeaux striker, author of 10 goals and 4 assists for his first season in France in Bordeaux, was on the substitutes’ bench.
Unfortunately for our player, Denmark quickly opened the scoring through Christian Eriksen, in the 17th minute. Remember, this is the player who, three years ago, collapsed following a heart attack. The two teams returned to their locker room on this short advantage for the Danes, who were however dominant during the first act.
During the second half, twice again, Slovenia seemed incapable of being really dangerous, while Denmark managed their advantage. Both teams were dangerous mainly from set pieces, until the 76th minute when Slovenia hit the post… The changes, made a few seconds earlier, were already taking effect… By the time of writing these lines, Slovenia had equalized on a countered strikeErik Janža (1-1, 77th).
This will be the final score, and the Bordeaux striker did not come into play.
