Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. France get us underway at Stadium 974.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. France is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Raphael Varane, a France , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' France international Olivier Giroud has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 2 assists in the Array this season.
  • 20' The referee shows Denmark player a Yellow card on 20.
  • 23' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Andreas Cornelius on 23 minutes.
  • 28' Theo Hernandez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 38 goals in his last 361 appearances.
  • 33' Supporters expect more eagerness from Christian Norgaard, as he is very good at scoring at Stadium 974 with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 38' Denmark are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 43' Jules Kounde picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 46' Martin Braithwaite gets the nod from Denmark. He replaces Andreas Cornelius and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 51' The travelling Denmark supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Joakim Maehle suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' Brilliant from the ! Kylian Mbappe makes it 1-0 with a superb finish on 61.
  • 63' It is a substitution in France team. Olivier Giroud is replaced by Marcus Thuram-Ulien on 63 minute.
  • 68' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Andreas Christensen makes it 1-1.
  • 73' The Denmark bench stirs into life. Mikkel Damsgaard is withdrawn and Kasper Dolberg gets his opportunity.
  • 75' A tactical swap from France — Ibrahima Konate on, Raphael Varane off on 75 minutes.
  • 80' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both France and Denmark are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 85' The crowd applauds Jesper Lindstrom as he leaves the pitch. Christian Norgaard steps in for Denmark.
  • 86' Kylian Mbappe adds to his 25 season tally! France lead 2-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 90' It is a substitution in Denmark team. Rasmus Kristensen is replaced by Alexander Bah on 90 minute.
  • 2-1 the final result. Denmark will be bitterly disappointed.
