Eriksen Scores! Denmark Draws Slovenia 1-1

This goal held particular significance as it came 1,100 days after Eriksen's cardiac arrest at Euro 2021, during the match against Finland. Eriksen nearly added another goal in the 28th minute, but his shot, deflected by Jan Mlakar, went narrowly wide of the post.

The second half saw Denmark create another scoring opportunity in the 65th minute. Rasmus Hojlund's shot from close range (6 metres) was superbly saved by goalkeeper Jan Oblak. Slovenia then came close to taking the lead in the 76th minute when Benjamin Sesko's shot from the edge of the area struck the crossbar. This near miss seemed to foreshadow an equaliser, which Slovenia duly secured in the following move through Erik Janza's goal.

Both teams pressed for a winning goal in the closing stages. Denmark's Jannik Vestergaard and Slovenia's Andraz Sporar each missed opportunities to snatch victory for their respective sides.

In the other Group C match, Serbia will face England at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen.

Over 300 young people from the Republic of Moldova, trained to cause election chaos: 88 raids throughout the country and 1.6 million lei confiscated

More than 300 young people from the Republic of Moldova were trained in camps in the Russian Federation, as well as in guerrilla camps in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the aim of causing mass destabilization and disorder around the presidential elections and the constitutional referendum on joining the European Union from October 20. They also received specialized instructions on the use of drones equipped with explosives and pipe bombs, between September and mid-October, by foreigners with links to private military groups such as "Wagner" and "Ferma", said Alexandru Musteata, head of the Intelligence and Security Service, Alexandru Musteață.
