Denmark 2-0 Germany, 1992 final
The year of the underdogs! A Danish team who had failed to even qualify for the tournament and were only included at the last minute courtesy a ban on war-torn Yugoslavia, defied all odds to reach the final and defeated the German giants to win their first ever European championship trophy.
This game wasn’t special as a stand-alone match but marked a glorious page in the tournament’s history. The Danes surprised everyone to emerge out of a group including England, France and hosts Sweden, defeating France in a must win last game of the group stage to advance into the semi-finals. They pulled yet another upset by beating Netherlands on penalties to face world champions Germany in the finals.
Denmark took the lead in the first half through John Jensen’s top right corner strike and sealed the victory with a second goal from Kim Vilfort, completing their incredible fairy tale.
