Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Denmark gets underway.
  • 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Denmark winning 0% of all matches.
  • 10' Jonas Wind has been relatively quiet despite scoring 42 goals in his last 105 appearances.
  • 15' England is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 25' Kyle Walker needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 30' Mikkel Damsgaard has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 30 minutes.
  • 35' 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.
  • 39' Magnificent from Simon Kjaer! That is 5 goals in 418 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 44' Pierre Emile Hojbjerg is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Denmark so far.
  • 49' The referee has no hesitation. Harry Maguire is booked for England — Yellow card on 49.
  • 54' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His England side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 59' Denmark fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 64' It looks like no one’s ball. Denmark is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 67' The supporters are chanting for Daniel Wass. He replaces Jens Stryger Larsen on 67 minute.
  • 69' Time for substitution for England. Bukayo Saka is replaced by Jack Grealish.
  • 72' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Daniel Wass.
  • 77' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 79' It is a substitution in Denmark team. Andreas Christensen is replaced by Joachim Andersen on 79 minute.
  • 84' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 84 minutes.
  • 88' The Denmark bench stirs into life. Thomas Delaney is withdrawn and Mathias Jensen gets his opportunity.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — England 2-1 Denmark.
