The first goal England conceded at Euro 2020 just happened to be one of the best strikes of the entire tournament.
Mikkel Damsgaard vaulted underdog Denmark into the lead on the half-hour mark of Wednesday's semifinal at Wembley Stadium with a sumptuous dead-ball delivery. It was the first goal scored from a direct free-kick at Euro 2020.
