Northern Ireland finally gave their fans a result to cheer again as they finished a flawed Euro 2024 qualifying season with an outstanding 2-0 victory over Denmark in Belfast.

Strong Finish for Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland concluded their campaign on a positive note, securing a victory with second-half goals from Isaac Price and Dion Charles.

Dion Charles showcased an early threat, hitting the post, while Northern Ireland goalkeeper Conor Hazard displayed resilience with two crucial saves before halftime, denying the Danish team any lead.

Denmark’s Secure Qualification

Denmark had already secured their spot in the Euro finals before the game against Northern Ireland. Their win over Slovenia earlier in the week guaranteed their place in the finals, leading them to rest several key players for the encounter at Windsor Park. 

Injuries to notable players like Manchester United’s Rasmus Højlund and Christian Eriksen further impacted Denmark’s lineup for the match.
