Darren Bent returned unscathed from England's Danish nightmare to net his third goal of the season as Charlton maintained their 100% start with a 1-0 win over Wigan at The Valley.
The £3million summer-signing from Ipswich was called up for Sven-Goran Eriksson's squad ahead of the ill-fated trip to Copenhagen, but did not feature during the 4-1 thrashing.
However, the 21-year-old seemed all the better for his experience with the full international squad for the first time.
Bent hustled the Wigan defence throughout the match and netted the all-important strike late in the first half, which proved enough to see off the Premier League new boys and leave Charlton with two successive wins.
Wigan had some early defending to do when Jimmy Bullard pushed Jerome Thomas over and conceded a free-kick, around five yards outside the box on the left.
Danny Murphy, who netted a fine strike at Sunderland last week from similar range, hit the ball well enough, but his effort flew over the bar.
In the 13th minute, there was a moment of panic in the Charlton box when Jason Roberts almost latched onto a loose ball, but the striker could not make good contact and the Addicks cleared for a corner, which came to nothing.
At the other end, Henchoz needed to make a timely block as Thomas looked to get on the end of Murphy's pass when Charlton broke quickly.
On 23 minutes, Roberts got the better of stand-in skipper Luke Young down the left, and flicked over a teasing cross into the six-yard box where Damien Francis was arriving at pace, but just could not steer his header on target.
The Addicks were continuing to press, with Alexei Smertin - on a season-long loan from Chelsea - pulling the strings in midfield. Wigan, however, got plenty of men behind the ball.
When, with eight minutes to go before the break, Murphy did find half a yard of space, the former Liverpool midfielder could not keep his 20-yard drive down.
The breakthrough finally came on 42 minutes when Murphy battled to the right by-line before floating over an inch-perfect pass for Bent to step away from his marker and power in a header at the back post.
And it should have been 2-0 when Bent raced onto Chris Perry's through ball and into the area, only to drag his shot wide of the left-hand post.
The hosts had a strong penalty claim waived away, after 59 minutes, when substitute Steve McMillan looked to have handled Dennis Rommedahl's cut-back.
Referee Rob Styles was unimpressed, though, and Smertin just could not get enough on his glancing header from the return ball into the box.
Rommedahl was replaced by Jonatan Johansson with 13 minutes to go, and almost produced another goal for Bent when his cut-back from the right goal-line was smacked against the foot of the post.
