English head coach Gareth Southgate said he could understand Denmark's disappointment over the disputed penalty with which the English team clinched their semifinal victory, on Wednesday night, during a post-game presser in London in the early hours of Thursday.
"If you were to say to me that the penalty was soft, I can understand," he said. "I think we had the better of the chances and we created far more chances, so probably on the balance of the game, I think we deserve it."
"Live I thought it was a penalty. Obviously, I haven't seen it back yet. But I mean I thought I should've have had a penalty as well in the second half," said striker Harry Kane. "It probably evened itself out throughout the game today."
During overtime, as attacking midfielder Raheem Sterling was slaloming near the touchline, Danish midfielder Mathias Jensen's leg seemed to have touched the English player, causing the referee to call foul in a disputed decision.
The resulting penalty allowed England to score a second goal minutes before the end of the overtime, advancing to the final.
