Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. England host Denmark — let the battle begin!
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering England that had 137 games and scored 75 goals.
  • 10' A quiet spell here at Wembley. England seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 20' Harry Kane has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 14 goals this season.
  • 25' Kasper Dolberg is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Denmark tonight.
  • 30' Mikkel Damsgaard puts Denmark on the lead.
  • 35' The 31-year-old Pierre Emile Hojbjerg has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 39' Against the run of play, Simon Kjaer has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 44' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 49' Harry Maguire picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 54' With 0 assists to his name this season, Raheem Sterling is clearly more than just a goal scorer for England.
  • 59' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both England and Denmark are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 64' Both keepers have barely been tested. England and Denmark are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 67' Jens Stryger Larsen makes way for Daniel Wass at the 67 minute mark. A tactical switch from Denmark.
  • 69' It is a substitution in England team. Bukayo Saka is replaced by Jack Grealish on 69 minute.
  • 72' Daniel Wass has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 72.
  • 77' England currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 79' Joachim Andersen gets the nod from Denmark. He replaces Andreas Christensen and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 84' Denmark is showing some good football. However, Denmark are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 88' Denmark make a change. Thomas Delaney trudges off to be replaced by Mathias Jensen on 88 minutes.
  • Another three points for England.
