  • 54' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

  • 67' Another change for Denmark made on 67 minute. Jens Stryger Larsen leaves to be changed by Daniel Wass.

  • 72' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Daniel Wass on 72 minutes.
  • 77' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kasper Hjulmand might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 79' Joachim Andersen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Andreas Christensen on 79 minute.
