Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. France get us underway at .
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Age Hareide might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 10' Denmark is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Denmark that had 95 games and scored 19 goals.
  • 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 30' France have won 94 goals from 178 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 40' France international Benjamin Mendy has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mathias Jorgensen on 45.
  • 50' Another substitution for France to replace Lucas Hernandez by Benjamin Mendy on 50 minute.
  • 55' The travelling France supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 60' Viktor Fischer is replacing Pione Sisto for the Denmark side.
  • 65' Ousmane Dembele has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 68' A change in the France ranks — Antoine Griezmann exits the field as Nabil Fekir enters on 68.
  • 73' France is showing some good football. However, France are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 75' Denmark ring the changes. Andreas Cornelius has done his job and it is now time for Kasper Dolberg to step up.
  • 78' Time for substitution for France. Ousmane Dembele is replaced by Kylian Mbappe.
  • 83' A quiet spell here at . France seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 88' Both keepers have barely been tested. Denmark and France are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 90' A tactical swap from Denmark — Lukas Lerager on, Thomas Delaney off on 90 minutes.
  • The points are shared — Denmark 0-0 France. Honours even.
