The Danes were leading after a beautiful goal by Mikkel Damsgaard from a free kick, but even before the break, the English equalized after Simon Kjaer’s own goal. As the second half progressed, and then even more overtime, the Danes looked increasingly tired and it was obvious that making it to the penalties could prove to be a very difficult task. However, the hearts of the Danes were broken by the referees who dictated a penalty kick in the 104th minute after Raheem Sterling’s rally and an alleged foul by Joakim Maehle (Kasper Schmeichel saved Harry Kane’s penalty, but was already helpless on the rebound). – For me, there should be absolutely no penalty kick. In my opinion, but not only mine, because I have received many messages that there should be no criminal – Michał Listkiewicz spoke on TVP Sport.

Maybe it will be easier for me to express how I feel in a few days, ‘said Hjulmand. – We are just very disappointed, we were so close to the final. And it all decided like this … This penalty shouldn’t be a penalty, it pisses me off. We are disappointed, very disappointed – the selector kept repeating Danes.

These guys are amazing and the whole country can be proud. Continue to give them the love and respect they deserve. We can be incredibly proud – concluded Hjulmand.
