What Joachim Andersen did to Crystal Palace teammate Ebere Eze in 89th minute of England 1-1 Denmark
On Thursday evening, three Crystal Palace players took part in international matches for their respective countries. One particular moment stood out as intriguing.
England played against Denmark on Thursday night in their second match of Euro 2024, competing in Group C.
For Crystal Palace, this match was especially important because it included all of the Eagles players who are participating in the Euros this year.
Joachim Andersen played as part of the defense for Denmark, with Marc Guehi alongside him for England. Eberechi Eze came on as a substitute, while Adam Wharton and Dean Henderson stayed on the sidelines.
In the game, both teams ended up with a fair share of the spoils, but there was a particular moment that caught the attention of Eagles fans.
Late Drama: Eze And Andersen Clash In 89th Min England V Denmark
As the time was running out in Frankfurt on Thursday, Eze and Andersen collided as they tried to secure points for their countries.
In the 89th minute, Eze made a move through the center of the field as England tried to launch a quick attack, but he was unexpectedly halted by his teammate from Selhurst Park.
Andersen aggressively pulled Eze down to the ground, causing a tactical free-kick to be awarded which disrupted England's offensive strategy.
Following his actions, Andersen was seen fleeing from the location of his wrongdoing with a grin on his face. It is expected that this incident will be discussed at Copers Cope in August once they have both come back.

Performance Of Palace Trio At EURO 2024
The players from Palace were disappointed with the outcome of Thursday night's game as they were hoping for a win.
England performed poorly overall, with Guehi standing out as the better defender compared to John Stones. However, he did not reach the same high standard he displayed against Serbia, making a few mistakes that he managed to rectify well.
During the game, Eze came on as a substitute in the 69th minute. He had some good moments, but he also struggled with the same mistakes that the rest of the England team were facing.
Andersen will be the most pleased out of the three players because Denmark only lost one point, and he was impressive in the air during the match. However, overall, his performance was not very remarkable, and now he probably needs a victory against Serbia.
