Key Stats from England’s 2-1 semi-final win over Denmark

Key stats

  • Kane is now level with Gary Lineker as England’s all-time leading scorer at EURO and World Cup final tournaments with ten goals; his extra-time goal was England’s 50th in EURO final tournaments.
  • The No9 is only the third England player to score four or more at a EURO after Alan Shearer (five at EURO ’96) and Wayne Rooney (four at 2004).
  • Damsgaard’s opener was the first direct free-kick scored at EURO 2020 and made him the fourth Danish player to score two or more at a EURO. Two of the last four EURO finals goals England have conceded have been direct free-kicks: Damsgaard’s plus Gareth Bale’s for Wales at EURO 2016.
  • England’s equaliser was the first own goal that has ever gone in their favour at a EURO tournament.
  • At 19 years and 305 days, Saka became the youngest player to start a match for England at the semi-final stage or later of a major tournament.
  • Just three teams have let in the first goal and gone on to win the game in the previous 49 matches at EURO 2020: Belgium (2-1 v Denmark), Germany (4-2 v Portugal) and Spain (5-3 v Croatia).
  • This is the first time since 1992 that all four teams have scored in the semi-finals at a EURO tournament; both semi-finals also went to extra time in 1976, 1984, 1996, and 2000.
  • Excluding penalty shoot-outs, England have lost just one of their last 17 EURO final tournament matches (W10 D6 L1); they have won 13 of their last 15 matches at Wembley.
  • Denmark’s last appearance in the semi-finals at EURO was in 1992 when they won the tournament. The 29-year gap between their appearances in the last four is a EURO record.
  • Denmark’s total of 12 goals scored at EURO 2020 is their highest ever at a EURO tournament and also eclipsed their previous major-championship high of ten goals (1986 World Cup); they scored the first goal in 14 of their last 17 international matches.
