  • 43' Denmark ring the changes. Christian Eriksen has done his job and it is now time for Mathias Jensen to step up.
  • 45' The Denmark bench stirs into life. Christian Eriksen is withdrawn and Mathias Jensen gets his opportunity.

  • 77' Teemu Pukki makes way for Joni Kauko at the 77 minute mark. A tactical switch from Finland.
