The dynamite boy sends Denmark on!:
Denmark wins easily, and advances to the quarterfinals. Kasper Dolberg is the big hero with his two goals. Now either the Czech Republic or the Netherlands are waiting for the next round.
VAR drama! Braithwaite scores, but is called offside. The decision is changed and the goal stands!
Harry Wilson has to take an early shower! Gets a strict red card and Wales must play the last five with 10 men.
Mæhle makes 3-0! A beautiful shot trick allows him to knock the ball into goal behind Wales goalkeeper Ward.
Incredible chance for Denmark! A parry by Danny Ward gives Braithwaite a return on a half-open goal. The Barcelona player does not get to completely shuffle his legs and the shot ends up outside.
The Danes’ midfielder champion Simon Kjær is in pain. Must be replaced. May be bad news for the Danes, who are already damaged enough.
Denmark is close to 3-0! Mathias Jensen hits a post that is inches away from sneaking into goal.
Now Bale and co. have goals. Has created very little since the first 15, but now something has to happen for the Welsh.
Kasper Dolberg does it again! An ugly defensive error means that he ends up with the ball all alone at a distance of 7 meters. There he makes no mistake, and sends the Danes up in a two-goal lead.
Denmark goes to the break with a lead after a rush signed by Kasper Dolberg. “The reserve” came in for top scorer Poulsen, and scored Denmark’s first goal in a European Championship play-off since the triumph in 1992. Wales started well, but the Danes have taken over completely since the quarter played.
Kasper Dolberg scores! Gets the ball from Damsgaard, and takes two touches into the field before he clinches from 20 meters. Danny Ward has no chance as the ball whizzes into the net.
The Danes have risen after a weak opening quarter.
Bale is close! Shoots from 20 meters but the ball sneaks outside the post.
The Danes will go dragon hunting in tonight’s round of 16 final against Wales. It will be without the team’s top scorer Yussuf Poulsen who is not to be found in the squad. Danish BT reports that the striker is out with an injury.
Right-back Daniel Wass is not in Amsterdam either. Thus, Denmark loses two players who have started all the matches so far in the championship.
Denmark: Schmeichel – Christensen, Kjær, Vestergaard – Stryger Larsen, Højbjerg, Delaney, Mæhle – Damsgaard, Dolberg, Braithwaite
Wales: Ward – Roberts, Mepham, Rodon, Davies – Morell, Allen – Bale, Ramsey, James – Moore
