With a victory over Italy, England has qualified for the European Championship, while Denmark has stopped San Marino. Hungary and Denmark would have also qualified on Tuesday, but they will have to wait until the November qualifying matches. And for a brief moment, despite its close loss to the Danes, tiny San Marino appeared headed for a historic draw. Gianluca Scamacca’s first-ever goal for his nation gave Italy the lead, but goals from captain Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford helped England fight back. At the 24-team competition the following year, England will compete alongside host Germany and previously qualified nations Austria, Belgium, France, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, and Turkey.
As San Marino tied Denmark 1-1, it looked set to pull off the biggest upset in the history of football. However, Denmark scored again to win 2-1 and put itself in position to qualify.
