England officially qualified for the knockouts as they came first on their group standings, while there was a dispute in marking the owners of the second place as both Slovenia, and Denmark are equal in points, scored goals, received goals, and yellow cards. So, and for the first time in history, the organizers saw that Slovenia assistant coach Milivoje Novakovic was booked for dissent. That indiscretion is the difference between the teams, with Denmark having six disciplinary points with UEFA to Slovenia's seven.
The three points are enough for Slovenia to pass to the knockouts. While, Serbia were officially eliminated.
