The statistics after Day Two of the Euro 2012 tournament.

 

After two days and four matches we have had a total of nine goals scored, 11 yellow cards and two red. Reasonably calm on the statistics front. As you delve a little deeper into the games some interesting stats emerge.

 

In the game between the Netherlands and Denmark, both sides had eight shots on target. Denmark converted the only goal of the game but the fact Netherlands had 20 shots off target compared to the Danes amazing zero shots off target says alot about where the Dutch went wrong. With a strike force of the calibre of the Netherlands, Bert van Marwijk will expect better in the remaining two games.

 

Alan Dzagoev (Russia) still tops the scorers chart with two goals, but two new names appear on the list, Mario Gomez (Germany) and Michael Krohn-Dehli (Denmark).
